She symbolizes compassion, protection, and overcoming obstacles. Many people choose a Tara statue because it radiates tranquility and is simultaneously seen as a source of positive energy, wisdom, and inner strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith a height of 60 cm and a weight of over 45 kilograms, this statue has an immediate presence. It is not a small decorative object, but a substantial stone statue that forms a natural eye-catcher both indoors and outdoors. This makes it particularly suitable for a meditation spot, entrance, veranda, garden, or spiritual space.\n\nThe goddess is depicted in a relaxed seated posture on a richly crafted pedestal. The crown, jewelry, lotus motifs, and backplate give the statue a classic Javanese appearance. Thanks to the use of solid sandstone, the surface possesses a natural texture that combines beautifully with wood, greenery, water features, and tranquil interiors.\n\nFor many enthusiasts, Tara represents protection during life changes. Therefore, she is often placed in locations where peace, balance, and personal development are central.\n\nDue to its substantial weight and solid construction, this is a statue that immediately conveys a sense of stability and durability. A special object for lovers of Asian art, garden statues, and spiritual decoration with meaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color:#8a6a24;font-size:20px;margin-top:26px;\"\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin-top:10px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRepresentation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003eGoddess Tara\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003eJava, Indonesia\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003eSolid sandstone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSymbolism\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003eProtection, compassion, peace and balance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003e60 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003e28 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 0;\"\u003e45.2 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"1stbuddha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57155080552779,"sku":"194","price":895.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1012\/6170\/5547\/files\/javaans-zandsteen-beeld-godin-tara-60cm.jpg?v=1777462015"},{"product_id":"antiek-chinees-gietijzeren-boeddha-verguld-18e-19e-eeuw-bhumisparsha-mudra-museumkwaliteit-gietwerk","title":"Antique Chinese Cast Iron Buddha – Gilded – 18th\/19th Century – Bhumisparsha Mudra – Museum Quality Casting","description":"\u003ch2\u003eSacred Mastery: Gilded Chinese Cast Iron Buddha\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis rare Chinese Buddha statue from the late Qing Dynasty (18th\/19th century) is an impressive example of sacred iron casting art.

The natural weathering, old wear, deep stone structure, and massive construction give the statue an authentic character that modern reproductions lack.\n\nWith a height of approximately 95 cm, a width of 74 cm, and an estimated weight of about 500 kilograms, this is an exceptional statement piece.
