Product description
An elegant and soulful sacred masterpiece from the renowned metal casting tradition of the Kathmandu Valley (Patan, Nepal). This handcrafted sculpture depicts the goddess Green Tara (Syama Tara), the female Bodhisattva of infinite compassion and swift protection, in a graceful, triple-bent Tribhanga pose atop an inverted lotus pedestal.
**1stbuddha Protocol & Analysis**
This object has been fully evaluated and certified as an authentic product of renowned Nepalese Newari craftsmanship. The sculpture is cast using the traditional lost-wax (cire perdue) method and is characterized by its sharp, two-tone aesthetic. The smoothly polished, deep-black 'Black Bronze' surface (a specific copper-lead alloy) forms a spectacular and mysterious contrast with the hand-chiseled golden details on the crown, the refined jewelry, and the opulent hip-cloth (dhoti).
**Iconography & Craftsmanship**
The deity stands in the classic hip-bend, with her right hand pointed downwards in the Varada Mudra (the gesture of compassion), while her left hand forms the Vitarka Mudra and holds the stem of a blossoming lotus flower (Utpala). With a height of 42 cm and a weight of 2.6 kg, this is a high-quality, thin-walled hollow casting of exceptional structural balance, extremely suitable for a private altar or as an exclusive interior eye-catcher.
