Green Tara Tibetan Hindu Nepal BRONZE Sculpture STATUE
Item No. 8061
Reproduction after Museum Original
Tara's name means One Who Saves. She epitomizes the influence of the older mother-goddess cults
upon the Buddhist Mahayana religion. Her concept evolved in India and later she became the most
important goddess in the Mahayana pantheon. She holds a very prominent position in Tibet and Nepal.
Tara was born from a tear of the Boddhisatwa of Compassion, Avolokiteswora. She was conceived
primarily as a savioress and is, therefore, the female counterpart of Avolokiteswora. She is also generally
regarded as his consort and is frequently portrayed with him. Tara is believed to protect the human beings
while they are crossing the ocean of existence. Her compassion for living beings, her desire to save them
from suffering, is said to be stronger than a mother's love for her children. Her most distinctive emblem is
the blue lotus which she carries in her left hand. Among the forms of Tara: when she is red, yellow and
blue, she is in menacing mood; white or green she is gentle and loving. This is the same twofold nature as
Shiva's wife.
Made from lost-wax bronze 100% pure bronze.
Dimensions: 8"High (20cm)
Weight: 4 lbs
