Collection Appreciation
<p>This is a gilded copper statue of White Tara seated, a classic and revered object in Tibetan Buddhist art. The entire figure is cast in copper with heavy, rich gilding that radiates brilliance and exhibits an exceptional patina developed over time. Her face is dignified and compassionate, eyes gently closed, conveying a serene and merciful expression that embodies White Tara's vow to relieve suffering.</p><p>She wears a three-leafed jeweled crown adorned with solemn ornaments, complemented by elaborate, ornate necklaces and jewelry. The drapery flows naturally, clinging gracefully to the body, showcasing the finest craftsmanship of Tibetan sculpture. Her hands are held in mudras, each holding a lotus flower whose stems rise elegantly along her arms, creating a balanced and upright form. She sits in full lotus position on a double-layered upturned and inverted lotus throne with plump, well-proportioned petals, achieving harmonious proportions and an aura of regal grace.</p>
