An high crowned Nepalese Tara, the female aspect of Avalokitesvara, in tribhanga stand atop a rich an opened base. She is represented with two lotus blossoms flanking both shoulders. Her characteristics are traditionally done in Nepalese fashion: an equipoise stance bent in three places, an ornate dhoti cast with elaborate foliate patterning, meditation cords and beaded strands, eyes slightly downcast in contemplation, and the faint image of Avalokitesvara in her crown. In some schools of Buddhism there are 21 forms of Tara. This one is a lovely, feminine representation of the bodhisattva. In excellent condition.
