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 or half-dancing pose. She is dressed and crowned like a Bodhisattva. Tara's right hand is in Varada Mudra (boon-giving pose), her left hand is in Jnana Mudra holding the stem of the lotus on her left shoulder. Her hair is bound up at the back; her breasts are full; she is adorned with inlays of coral and turquoise, her robes are incised with floral designs. The piece has many semi precious stones inlaid in the copper statue.

This is one of four pieces in our collection which was hand crafted by a revered artist in the Newari artist community. Unfortunately, the artisan has passed on.
