Ancient Bronze Sculpture Depicting Buddha Tara
Ancient bronze sculpture depicting the goddess Tara
This patinated bronze seated Buddha depicts Green Tara, the bodhisattva of active compassion.
She is seated in lalitasana (royal posture). Her right foot extends downward, resting on a small lotus bud sprouting from the base, while her right hand forms the varada mudra (gesture of granting wishes) and her left hand is raised in the vitarka mudra (gesture of teaching)
The refined details, such as the precise rendering of the undulating lotus stems, the intricately crafted crown, and the delicate facial expression, attest to unparalleled artisanal skill.
