Beautiful antique Asian Tara in Verada Mudra pose with closed eyes, made around 1890.
The figurine has a very nice patina.
Tara is the wife of the bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara. When the enlightened bodhisattva (he who brings enlightenment) shed tears of compassion, a lake arose at his feet, from which grew a lotus flower. From this lotus rose the loving goddess Tara. Since then, in Central, South and Southeast Asia, she has been revered for many centuries as the mother of all people. You could compare her to Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ.
Will be shipped registered and insured.
