Central Asia, Tibet, ca. 19th to 20th century CE. A hollow cast brass sculpture of the Buddhist goddess Tara, the feminine counterpart of the bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara, seated in the lalitsana pose and presenting a tranquil visage with downcast eyes, an aquiline nose, and a closed mouth. The goddess sits upon a lotus pedestal with one leg forward - a lotus blossom beneath this foot - and holding a lotus blossom in the left hand. She wears a bejeweled tiara with a flame at the center and a flame-adorned headdress above, large ear ornaments, armlets, bracelets, a magnificent pectoral, sash, and ornately decorated pants. According to legend, Tara emerged from a tear of Avalokiteshvara, which fell to the ground to form a lake. Out of pristine waters arose a lotus, which opened to reveal the goddess. Similar to Avalokiteshvara, Tara is a compassionate deity who assists others to achieve Enlightenment. Size: 5.5" L x 6.625" W x 11.75" H (14 cm x 16.8 cm x 29.8 cm)
