Estimated value: €3,500 – €4,500. This imposing standing Tara was crafted in Nepal and made of fire-gilded bronze. With a height of 78 cm and a slender, elegant posture, this is a powerful sculpture that immediately commands presence in a room. The contrapposto, graceful arm position, and richly detailed crown give the sculpture a vibrant and refined appearance.
The Tara stands on a classic lotus base and is traditionally hollow cast. The warm golden skin and natural patina give the sculpture an authentic and attractive character. The detailing in the face, jewelry, and body aligns well with the Newar tradition from the Kathmandu Valley.
This is a convincing Nepalese temple sculpture from the 18th to early 19th century, suitable as a standalone statement piece or as a central object in a collection. A rare standing Tara of significant size, with strong visual impact and clear historical origins.
