Green Tara embodies the Earth element. She is a powerful goddess, a bodhisattva in female form who helps us to overcome both material and spiritual obstacles.

This antique gilt bronze statue from 19th century Tibet embodies Green Tara’s deep visceral connection to the Mother Earth. Here she is seated in the pose of ease (the lalitasana). Her right and left hands gracefully hold full blooming lotuses. Lotuses are symbols of purity and spontaneous generation and hence symbolize divine birth. Tara’s golden hued face in lucid contemplation compliments the supple curves of her body sensuously unadorned in its beauty. At the peak of her unisha is the crescent moon the symbol of the Goddess in cultures around the world. In excellent condition,this is an exceptional find, a goddess in the simplicity of her power and radiance. (SD)
