Very beautiful GREEN Tara statue from Tibet

The beautiful Tara is approx. 30 years old. I bought them from a Tibetan at a market in Giantse, Tibet.

The material is bronze. Fine workmanship and very detailed, she weighs approx. 2.9 kilos! The statue is particularly thick-walled. The statue is open at the bottom, so you can clearly see how it was processed inside and how massive the statue really is. It was not weighed down with concrete on the inside.

Simply beautiful to place on the home altar or shrine...

Dimensions: 26 cm high, 21 cm wide, 16 cm deep

Green Tara: She is the mother goddess of Tibet. Tibetans pray to her daily for protection. The transcendent bodhisattva is the symbolic figure of purity. Your right hand is open downward in the granting gesture. She holds a lotus flower in both hands. A very nice, detailed representation!

The White Tara:

White Tara is considered a god of compassion. She is the female counterpart of Avalokitshvara. She received the blessing and power of Buddha himself. Other legends about White Tara say that she arose from the tears of Buddha. Known as the Tara of Compassion, White Tara brings health, long life and promises healing. Tara is supposed to protect people from suffering. White Tara has 7 eyes: on the forehead, hands and feet. These additional eyes help her to feel and understand the suffering of living beings. Depictions of White Tara often show her sitting cross-legged with one arm bent and the other raised, crowned and surrounded with ornaments. She has pure, white skin that is compared to the moon and its light.

The Green Tara:

In contrast to the White Tara, she does not sit with her legs crossed, but keeps one leg outstretched, almost always ready to get up immediately to help others. Her male counterpart is Amoghasiddhi, the god of action. Green Tara is associated with enlightened activity and helps people overcome fear and anxiety. It protects people from the 8 "obscurations" or errors and their embodiments: pride (lion), deception (wild elephant), hatred (fire), envy (snake), fanatical views, greed and avarice (bandits and thieves), (prisons and bonds), lust (floods) and doubt (demons).
