This antique wooden Tara statue is an authentic devotional object from the Himalayan region, crafted in the 19th century. The statue represents Tara, the female bodhisattva of protection, compassion, and swift aid, a central figure within Vajrayana Buddhism in Nepal and Tibet.
The statue is hand-carved from wood and shows clear traces of age, use, and ritual touch. Remnants of red pigments and natural surface wear indicate long-term religious use, presumably within a private altar or small-scale monastic context.
Its provenance from a former museum and gallery collection (Peter Hardt Gallery) underscores the authenticity and quality of this object. This is not a decorative statue, but an original Himalayan statue with its own history and spiritual function.
Dimensions: 11.5 × 7.5 × 3 cm
