This black ebony Tara embodies the mystery and depth of the Mother Goddess. Voluptuous with a pronounced belly and full breasts her body arches in the hint of a dance. She is presented on a magnificent royal lotus stand as a lotus rises gracefully from her right hand. Seen from the back, the curves of Tara’s body shine through her mere hint of a dhoti. Her countenance reflects a presence, power and illumined equanimity that dispels fears

Tara's right hand poised in the gesture of granting sublime realizations shows that by following the path we can attain these realizations ourselves. This gesture is also called the gesture of her supreme generosity to each according to their needs. Her pointed hat indicates the age of the deity and that stylistically influenced by Indian / Nepalese artistry. This statue features a number of inlays, some which are missing. This 19th century figure from China beautifully weds the cosmos with the sensual embodiment of the female form. (SD)
