Tara was born from a tear of the Bodhisattva of compassion,
Avalokiteshvara. She holds a very prominent position in Tibet and
Nepal. Tara is believed to protect all beings while they are
crossing the ocean of existence.
Here, Tara is represented in a standing pose known as samapada asana. She is dressed and crowned like a Bodhisattva. Tara's left hand is in jnana mudra and she holds the stem of a beautiful open lotus flower on her left shoulder. Her hair is bound up at the back; her breasts are full; she is adorned with jewelry and stands atop a round single lotus base.
This lost wax method copper sculpture is a one of a kind statue, hand cast by the very talented artists of the beautiful country of Nepal. Every piece is truly unique!
