Hello, this item is a Tibetan style bronze figure of Green Tara, cast in a traditional seated lalitasana posture on a lotus base. The iconography, including the extended right leg, lotus stems rising at the shoulders, five leaf crown, and beaded jewelry, follows established Tibetan Buddhist sculptural conventions. However, the casting quality, surface finishing, and base construction indicate this is not a 19th century example. The metal surface shows uneven artificial patination and abrasion marks, and the underside does not display the typical sealed copper plate with clear ritual consecration that you would expect in an authentic 19th century sealed Tibetan sculpture. The overall workmanship is consistent with late 20th century Himalayan or Nepalese workshop production made for the devotional and export market.

From a market standpoint, genuinely 19th century Tibetan sealed bronze Green Tara figures of this size can sell between 4,000 USD and 15,000 USD depending on quality, provenance, and condition. Modern late 20th century cast examples of similar size, approximately 17 inches in height, typically trade between 400 USD and 1,200 USD depending on casting detail and condition. Given the visible wear, surface condition, and construction characteristics, a realistic current market value would fall in the range of 600 USD to 900 USD.
