Catalogue Note

This finely cast bronze depicts Tara standing in an elegant, balanced posture. She holds lotus flowers and extends one hand in Varada Mudra, the gesture of giving and compassion.

An elaborate aureole with floral and scrolling motifs frames the figure. The tall crown, intricate jewellery and detailed robes reflect Himalayan Buddhist craftsmanship, while natural patina and subtle surface wear record the sculpture's age.

Iconography and Context

Varada Mudra is the lowered open-hand gesture of generosity, compassion and the granting of blessings. It is frequently used for bodhisattvas whose iconography centres on active aid.

Condition and Display

The bronze with natural patina surface shows the tonal variation, patina and raised-detail wear described in the catalogue note. The 9 photographs document the sculpture from multiple angles, including the reverse and base.
