Green Tara: The Goddess of Compassion and Protection

Green Tara, also known as Samaya Tara, is one of the most beloved deities in Mahayana Buddhism, embodying compassion, swift action, and protection. She is depicted as the embodiment of the feminine aspect of compassion, always ready to offer assistance to those in need.

• Iconography:
  • Posture: Green Tara is shown seated in the royal ease posture, with her left leg bent and her left foot resting on a blue lotus, signifying readiness to rise and assist those in need.
  • Appearance: She is adorned in maroon Buddhist robes, with jewelry that represents essential virtues:
    • The earrings symbolize patience, understanding, and renunciation.
    • The diadem with five jewels signifies the transformation of the five delusions into the Five Buddha Wisdoms.
    • Her benevolent countenance radiates compassion, reflecting her role as a protector and savior of all beings.
• Symbolism of Moon Disk and Mudra:
  • Moon Disk: Green Tara sits upon a white moon disk, which represents the navel chakra and is associated with a restorative nectar, promoting healing and balance.
  • Varada Mudra: Her right hand is in the Varada mudra, the gesture of boon-granting, extending blessings to all beings.

Chocolate Oxidized Finish: Timeless Antique Patina

The Green Tara statue is finished with a chocolate color antique patina, a technique that gives the statue the appearance of a centuries-old copper piece, full of depth and character.

• Oxidation Process:
  • The chocolate oxidized patina is the result of an intricate oxidation process that mimics the natural aging of metal. Unlike superficial paint, this process ensures that the patina will last, providing a genuine vintage look.
  • The protective layer ensures that the patina remains intact over time, resisting wear and offering an authentic feel to the statue.
• Symbolic Significance:
  • The vintage charm of this finish connects Green Tara to the ancient heritage of Buddhism, symbolizing spiritual wisdom and timeless compassion.

Lost-Wax Casting: Traditional Craftsmanship

This Green Tara statue is crafted using the Lost-Wax method, a time-honored technique that ensures high detail and precision in the final sculpture.

• Crafting Process:
  • Artisans begin by sculpting a detailed wax model of Green Tara, capturing each intricate feature.
  • The wax model is then coated in ceramic layers, creating a mold. Once the wax is melted and drained out, molten metal is poured into the cavity to form the statue.
  • After cooling, the ceramic shell is removed, revealing a highly detailed metal sculpture that is a true work of art.
• Unique Artistry:
  • The Lost-Wax process results in a statue that is both unique and durable, capturing Green Tara’s beauty and spiritual significance with precision and skill.
