The Benevolent Tara: A Symbol of Compassion and Divine Grace

This exquisite brass statue depicts Tara, a revered bodhisattva in Tibetan Buddhism, embodying compassion, protection, and swift action. Standing at a graceful ten inches, she radiates a serene yet dynamic energy, a testament to the devotion and artistry poured into her creation. The statue is a masterful display of traditional Indian craftsmanship, with intricate detailing and vibrant inlays that bring this divine figure to life.

A Vision of Divine Adornment

Tara is depicted in a posture of readiness and grace, adorned in a richly colored tunic and skirt. The vibrant turquoise and coral-hued stones, meticulously inlaid into the brass, create a dazzling mosaic of color, symbolizing the preciousness of her wisdom and the boundless nature of her compassion. Her delicate headdress, crowned with ornate finials, signifies her elevated spiritual status. In one hand, she holds a bell, representing the wisdom that penetrates illusion, and the other hand, though not explicitly depicted as holding a dorje in this representation, is poised in a gesture of compassionate offering or protection, consistent with her protective aspect. The detailed carving of her facial features, from the serene expression to the subtle upturn of her lips, evokes a sense of profound peace and accessibility.

Echoes of Ancient Lore

In Buddhist mythology, Tara is a female Buddha whose name means "star" or "to cross over." She is said to have emerged from a ray of light emanating from the eye of Avalokiteshvara, the bodhisattva of compassion, when he wept tears for the suffering of the world. Tara vowed to embody his compassion and to appear in various forms to aid all beings. She is particularly known for her swift response to prayers, dispelling fear, obstacles, and delusion. Her color green symbolizes her active, protective nature, while the jewel-like inlays in this statue might represent the different virtues and spiritual qualities she embodies.

A Legacy of Craftsmanship

This stunning piece is a product of India's rich artistic heritage, where generations of artisans have honed their skills in metalwork and inlay. Each statue is handmade, ensuring that no two pieces are exactly alike, imbuing it with a unique spirit and soul. The use of brass, a durable and luminous metal, has been favored for centuries in creating sacred imagery, chosen for its ability to hold intricate detail and its symbolic association with auspiciousness. The base of the statue, adorned with a lotus motif and gilded accents, further elevates the divine presence, symbolizing purity and spiritual unfolding. This statue serves not only as a beautiful object of devotion but also as a tangible connection to the ancient traditions of Buddhist art and philosophy.

How to keep a Brass statue well-maintained?

Brass statues are known and appreciated for their exquisite beauty and luster. The brilliant bright gold appearance of Brass makes it appropriate for casting aesthetic statues and sculptures. Brass is a metal alloy composed mainly of copper and zinc. This chemical composition makes brass a highly durable and corrosion-resistant material. Due to these properties, Brass statues and sculptures can be kept both indoors as well as outdoors. They also last for many decades without losing all their natural shine.

Brass statues can withstand even harsh weather conditions very well due to their corrosion-resistance properties. However, maintaining the luster and natural beauty of brass statues is essential if you want to prolong their life and appearance.

The best and simplest way to maintain a brass statue is to clean it at least twice a week using a soft cloth or cotton rag. This will prevent dust from accumulating on the surface. Dusting is especially important for outdoor statues since it is prone to dust accumulation much more than indoors.

To give a natural shine and luster to the statue, you may apply coconut or olive oil using cotton on every portion. You can use a toothbrush to get to the small crevices but do not be too harsh. This will make the brass statue appear fresh and new with a polished look.

In case you have a colored brass statue, you may apply mustard oil using a soft brush or clean cloth on the brass portion while for the colored portion of the statue, you may use coconut oil with a cotton cloth.

Brass idols of Hindu Gods and Goddesses are especially known for their intricate and detailed work of art. Nepalese sculptures are famous for small brass idols portraying Buddhist deities. These sculptures are beautified with gold gilding and inlay of precious or semi-precious stones. Religious brass statues can be kept at home altars. You can keep a decorative brass statue in your garden or roof to embellish the area and fill it with divinity.
