Handcrafted from a copper body, this refined Himalayan Buddhist sculpture is richly finished with 24K gold gilding, detailed acrylic painting, and carefully placed gemstones. White Tara is portrayed in a peaceful seated posture upon an intricately carved lotus pedestal, adorned with an elaborate jeweled crown, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, armlets, and flowing celestial garments. Fine craftsmanship can be seen throughout her serene facial expression, ornate jewelry, garments, lotus petals, and decorative elements. The radiant 24K gold gilding emphasizes the intricate carving, while acrylic painting adds definition to selected details and gemstone embellishments bring additional richness to her crown and ornaments. The graceful proportions, elaborate adornment, and carefully finished lotus throne give this sculpture a distinguished sacred presence, making it well suited for a Buddhist altar, meditation space, shrine, Dharma center, monastery, or devotional collection.
This sacred representation portrays White Tara, the peaceful long-life form of Tara, traditionally associated with longevity and the compassionate protection of sentient beings. She is characteristically depicted with seven eyes: three on her face and one on each palm of her hands and sole of each foot, symbolizing her all-seeing awareness and compassionate attentiveness. Her right hand extends downward in the mudra of supreme generosity, expressing compassionate giving and the willingness to offer support, while her left hand is raised toward the heart and holds the stem of an utpala lotus blossoming beside her shoulder. The lotus represents purity and the unfolding of awakened wisdom, while her peaceful expression and relaxed meditative posture convey serenity and compassionate presence. Her elaborate crown and jewelry identify her enlightened female form, while the lotus throne represents purity and liberation. In Tibetan Buddhist traditions, White Tara is particularly associated with practices for longevity and is regarded as one of the principal long-life deities.
