Nepalese Tibetan Brass White Tara Statue, Lotus Pedestal

Central Asia, Nepal / Tibet, ca. early to mid-20th century CE. A brass image of White Tara, the goddess of compassion and longevity, standing on a tiered lotus pedestal. She is adorned with jewelry and a foliate crown inlaid with enamel; the lower garment is incised with floral motifs. Her right hand is raised in the gesture of reassurance (abhaya mudra), while the left is lowered. Each thumb and forefinger holds a lotus stem, from which blossoms rise beside her shoulders. The figure is cast in several pieces and is not permanently attached to the base: the feet are fitted with tenons that slot into holes cut into the pedestal, the lotus flowers rest within small metal loops, and the topknot finial is separately attached. Size: 10" W x 34" H (25.4 cm x 86.4 cm) Item # 197943
