A beautifully detailed vintage bronze statue of Tara from Nepal, seated in the lotus position atop a double-lotus pedestal. This graceful two-armed depiction captures the serene and compassionate essence of Tara, one of the most revered deities in Tibetan and Nepalese Buddhism. Known as the “Mother of Liberation,” Tara embodies compassion, wisdom, and swift protection. Her right hand is extended in a gesture of generosity, while her left is held in the gesture of refuge or teaching, reflecting her role as a spiritual guide and protector. She wears a tall, ornate crown and layered jewelry adorned with turquoise-colored insets, offering a subtle contrast to the rich, dark tone of the metal.
The statue is cast in bronze or a bronze alloy and features a deep, charcoal-gray patina that has developed beautifully with age. The darkened surface gives the piece a powerful presence and highlights the intricate detailing throughout the crown, garments, and pedestal. Likely mid-20th century or earlier, this is a commanding and sacred piece, perfect for spiritual spaces or collections of Asian and Himalayan art. Some of the decorative elements detach and hook into place.
13" wide, 10" deep, and 19" high.
