Description
White Tara Copper Sculpture with Silver Plating | Seven-Eyed Goddess of Compassionate Awareness
This White Tara Copper Sculpture measures 12.2”/31cm in height with a 7.9”/20cm base and weighs 2.74 kg. Handcrafted in Nepal from a copper body, the sculpture is enriched with gold and acrylic painting, silver-plated accents, and carefully placed gemstones that add contrast, color, and refined decorative depth to the surface. The precise metalwork, balanced proportions, and meticulous hand-finishing reflect the skill of Nepalese artisans and the enduring traditions of Himalayan Buddhist craftsmanship. Spiritually, the figure is associated with compassion, healing, longevity, protection, and the creation of favorable conditions for continued spiritual practice.
This serene manifestation embodies compassion, purity, longevity, and protection from suffering. Seated gracefully in the posture of royal ease (lalitasana) upon a lotus throne, the figure keeps one leg folded in meditation while the other extends forward, expressing both inner stability and readiness to offer compassionate assistance. Her white complexion symbolizes purity, peace, and the clarity of enlightened awareness, while her distinctive seven eyes—three on the face and one on each palm and sole—represent all-seeing wisdom and compassionate awareness of the suffering of sentient beings. The right hand extends in Varada Mudra, symbolizing generosity, compassion, and the granting of blessings, while the left hand is raised near the heart holding an utpala lotus, representing purity, wisdom, and spiritual awakening. Her jeweled crown, earrings, necklaces, armlets, bracelets, waist ornaments, anklets, and flowing celestial garments reflect her enlightened bodhisattva nature, while the lotus throne represents purity arising above worldly conditions. Together, these attributes express compassionate protection, longevity, purification, and the cultivation of wisdom and peaceful awareness.

White Tara, also known as Sita Tara, originates in Indian Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhist traditions and later became especially prominent in Tibetan and Himalayan Buddhism. She is revered as a compassionate manifestation of Tara and is closely associated with longevity, healing, protection, and the removal of obstacles. Her practices were transmitted from India into Tibet, where she became important in long-life rituals, meditation, and devotional traditions. Spiritually, she is invoked to support health, extend life, and create favorable conditions for continued spiritual practice.
