Green Tara – The Liberating Mother of Compassion
Green Tara, also known as Samaya Tara, is revered as the embodiment of active compassion and swift aid. She is depicted seated in royal ease posture, with her right leg folded and her left leg slightly extended, symbolizing her readiness to step into the world and help those in distress.
Her serene expression radiates peace, while her graceful pose and finely adorned form reflect the enlightened qualities she embodies:
Earrings symbolize patience, understanding, and renunciation
Five-jeweled crown represents the transformation of the five afflictions into the Five Buddha Wisdoms
She sits on a white moon disk, symbolic of wisdom and healing energy associated with the navel chakra
Her right hand is extended in the Varada mudra – the gesture of granting boons, protection, and compassion
Green Tara is a cherished deity in Tibetan Buddhism, often invoked for protection, swift intervention, healing, and removal of obstacles.
Chocolate Oxidized Antique Finish – Vintage Elegance
This statue is treated with a chocolate-toned antique patina, designed to mimic the graceful aging of copper over a century. Unlike mere surface coatings, this patina is the result of an artificial oxidation process that:
Deepens visual richness
Protects the statue from natural oxidation
Provides a durable, long-lasting antique aesthetic
The finish evokes a feeling of timelessness and sacred heritage, making the statue appear like a treasured heirloom passed down through generations.
Traditional Lost-Wax Casting – A Legacy of Mastery
The Green Tara statue is created using the lost-wax casting technique, a traditional art form preserved for millennia. This intricate process allows for superior detail and durability:
A wax model is hand-sculpted to precise detail
It is encased in a ceramic mold
The wax is melted away, and molten copper is poured in
After cooling, the mold is broken to reveal the final copper statue
Every sculpture is unique, honoring the ancient techniques of Himalayan metalwork.
