Fully body gold painted White Tara is handcrafted sculpture in Nepal by Nepalese Shakya craftsman. The face is gold dust painted. White tara is depicted in a position of nimble investigating ease with the two legs raised and crossed, showing a glorious class and serenity like found in this White Tara Copper Statue. Her right hand is widened dropping, palm open, with thumb and pointer reaching. This hand position is known as Varada Mudra, or the badge of giving wishes and security. Her left hand, raised to bear height with fingers widened and palm turned outward, is in the badge of permitting shelter and freeing from fears (Abhaya Mudra).
Protecting the Face
As the face is painted it is highly recommended that the face of the statue is to be greatly taken care of as it requires a very professional and skilled face artist to repair the face of dirt and damages. Commonly to protect it from damage the statue with painted face is placed under a glass box and it is always covered with a cotton face mask if it has to be moved.
All our statues are handmade. Each piece is unique and it is impossible to reproduce exactly the same. Slight differences may therefore appear in the shapes, proportions, colors and materials used in our descriptions and specification sheets.
