This bronze sculpture from Nepal depicts Tara, a revered goddess in both Buddhist and Hindu traditions, seated gracefully in lalitasana (royal ease pose) atop a double-lotus pedestal. Her right hand displays the varada mudra, a gesture of compassion and offering, while her left hand holds a lotus stem, symbolizing purity and spiritual awakening. Tara is adorned with a detailed crown, jewelry, and flowing garments, all intricately rendered in traditional Newar style, showcasing the exceptional craftsmanship of Nepalese metal artisans. Her serene expression and symmetrical posture reflect inner calm and divine benevolence. Used in ritual and devotional contexts, this bronze exemplifies the spiritual syncretism of Nepal, where Buddhist and Hindu iconographies often merge. The work is not only a religious object but also a fine example of the aesthetic and technical excellence that defined Nepalese bronze art during this period.
