A compact White Tara in the refined Newar tradition of the Kathmandu Valley. The calm expression, ornate jewellery and gilt surface are enlivened by small polychrome details.

Iconography and Context

Tara is a central bodhisattva of compassion and protection in Himalayan Buddhism. Her poised posture and graceful gestures combine contemplative calm with the idea of compassionate action.

Condition and Display

Surviving gilding, darker recessed areas and wear on raised details create a layered surface. The 10 photographs document the remaining finish, patina, casting and base from multiple viewpoints.

Collector’s Note

A antique nepalese white tara with compact, display-friendly scale, combining its nepal gilt bronze with polychrome details character with clearly readable sculptural detail.
