Solid Vintage Green Tara (Shyama Tara) – Mid-20th Century

This exceptionally heavy bronze statue depicts the Green Tara, the female embodiment of enlightened activity and compassion. Whereas many modern statues are hollow and light, this object distinguishes itself with a solid casting of no less than 1.3 kilograms at a height of 17 centimeters.

Forensic Audit & Technical File

At 1stbuddha.nl, we subject every object to material validation. The results for this Tara confirm its high quality:

  • Material Density: The weight of 1.3 kg attests to a solid casting in a copper alloy (bronze). This not only gives the image a powerful physical presence but also points to artisanal casting from the Himalayan region.
  • Dating & Patina: Mid-20th century (ca. 1950-1960). The natural wear of the gilding on the prominent parts, such as the knee and the mudra hands, confirms an authentic vintage status and decades of handling.
  • Iconographic Validation: Tara is depicted in lalitasana (the pose of ease) with her right foot outstretched, ready to offer help. The hands form the Varada and Vitarka mudras, executed with a precision befitting a quality casting.
