The statue was crafted in the Kathmandu Valley, where refined bronze statues have been made for centuries. This piece was cast using the traditional method and subsequently fire-gilded, a technique in which gold permanently bonds with the bronze. Remnants of this are still clearly visible, along with a deep, natural patina that develops only through age and use.
In Buddhism, Tara symbolizes protection, compassion, and direct help. She is often seen as a guide during difficult moments. The lotus she holds represents purity and spiritual growth. This makes the image not only visually striking but also meaningful in an interior or personal space.

What makes this specific statue special is the combination of refinement and authenticity. The jewelry, crown, and posture are handcrafted, without repetition or standardization. The wear in the gilding and the build-up of the patina clearly show that this is an old and used object, not a recent production.
With a height of 41 cm and a weight of 3 kg, the statue has a powerful yet elegant presence. It fits equally well in a modern interior as in a more classic or spiritual setting.
