Lyrically flowing tresses, dreamily opening eyes filled with gentleness, youthful countenance, beauteous physique, and luxurious posture, the envisioning of Green Tara in this gilded copper statue from Nepal is a splendid example of Nepalese art’s ability to bring life to metal. Gemmed crown, brocaded attire, and blooming lotuses beautify the icon with their richness. Making the gesture of bestowing boons with her right hand and mudra of patience with her left, Green Tara tells her devotees to be at peace, as she descends on the earth to rescue and guide them toward Buddha’s supreme wisdom.
