Goddess Tara Fine Statuette 14"

Specification Product Code :9223 Material :Brass Size :14"H x 9"W x 6.75"D Weight :3.730 Kg. Description The fine figure of Goddess Tara is nicely carved out of brass. One of the most popular deities in Buddhism, she is the female Buddha. According to Buddhist belief, she came into existence from a tear of Avalokiteshvara, which fell to the ground and formed a lake. Out of its waters rose up a lotus, which, on opening, revealed the goddess. Like Avalokiteshvara, Tara is a compassionate, succouring deity who helps men “cross to the other shore.” She is the protector of navigation and earthly travel, as well as of spiritual travel along the path to enlightenment. The highly ornate body of the goddess reflects a deep feminine beauty and her face is treated exceptionally fine.
