Description from the seller

Tibetan Buddhist Statue of White Tara

The entire piece is cast as a single unit from solid copper using the lost-wax method and finished with a layer of gilded clay. Accents of cinnabar red highlight the crown, the folds of the garments, and the flowing ribbons. The statue adheres to traditional Tibetan iconographic standards: she wears an elaborate five-leaf crown and large earrings, and her body is adorned with chased, multi-layered beaded necklaces and garlands. She sits in a relaxed posture upon a double-tiered lotus pedestal ; her left hand holds a vase of longevity while her right hand forms the gesture of supreme generosity , flanked by gracefully sweeping, openwork ribbons. The base bears an incised *vishvavajra* —a classic auspicious symbol found on Tibetan Buddhist images.
