AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This seated figure of White Tara is a classic icon in Tibetan Buddhist art, symbolizing compassion and longevity.

White Tara sits in the *vajrasana* upon a double-tiered lotus pedestal; the lotus petals are full and regular, and the lines flow gracefully—hallmarks of the quintessential Tibetan sculptural style. Her right hand forms the *Abhaya Mudra* , symbolizing the dispelling of fear for all sentient beings, while her left hand holds an *Utpala* flower, symbolizing the bestowal of peace and happiness upon them. The figure’s adornments—including the jeweled crown, necklaces, and armbands—are layered with distinct clarity; the folds of the robes are rendered with fluid lines, and the intricate details are sharply defined, collectively demonstrating the exquisite craftsmanship of the sculpture.
