AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This is a Tibetan-style bronze White Tara statue, cast from a single piece of fine bronze. The surface is finished with gilding and cinnabar painting, developing a weathered patina over time, giving it a rich, ancient charm.

The statue wears an elaborate five-leaf crown, its face gentle and serene, eyes lowered, conveying compassion and tranquility. It is adorned with a multi-layered necklace, its flowing robes creating a graceful and realistic effect. The figure sits in the standard half-lotus position on a double-layered lotus pedestal, the lotus petals full, three-dimensional, and with clear, regular patterns. The right hand is in the abhaya mudra (gesture of reassurance), while the left hand holds an utpala flower at the chest. A floral branch, a ritual implement, hangs at the side, reflecting the classic White Tara imagery.
