Seated serenely upon an elaborately modeled lotus pedestal, Tara is framed by graceful flowering lotus stems that rise on either side of her body.

Her face, beautifully carved from natural rock crystal, has a gentle, contemplative expression with softly defined features, downcast eyes, and a subtle, peaceful smile conveying compassion and tranquility. The translucency of the crystal gives her face an ethereal luminosity, particularly striking against the richly gilded bronze.

White Tara is lavishly adorned in the manner of a celestial bodhisattva, wearing an elaborate jeweled crown, necklaces, armlets, bracelets, earrings, and ornamental body jewelry. Red cabochon accents provide vivid contrast against the gold, while finely chased details throughout the crown, garments, lotus blossoms, and jewelry demonstrate exceptional craftsmanship.

Elegant and richly detailed, this White Tara is both a sacred Buddhist image and a sophisticated work of decorative art, representing compassion, protection and healing. The combination of natural rock crystal and gilt bronze gives the sculpture an especially luxurious and luminous presence. See less
