Bronze Buddha maker unknown
12 ht. 7.5 width
Hello,
Your item is a hand-cast bronze figure of Green Tara, a revered female bodhisattva in Tibetan Buddhism known for compassion and swift action. The statue is detailed and features her in a posture of readiness, with her right leg extended and left leg folded, a lotus stem rising over her shoulder, and both hands in symbolic mudras. The gold accents on the crown and ornaments suggest it may have ritual or devotional significance. Given the stylistic features—especially the facial expression, crown design, and hand gestures—it likely originates from Nepal or Tibet, and was probably produced in the mid- to late 20th century, although earlier examples do exist with similar form.
The quality of casting, the iconographic accuracy, and the substantial size (12 inches high, 7.5 inches wide) suggest this was not made as a souvenir, but rather for altar use or as a high-quality decorative object.
Great! Thank you very much for the appraisal.
