Green Tara (Arya Tara), also known as Ashta-Mahabhaya Tara (saviouress who protects the soul from the Eight Great Perils) is the Bodhisattva who safeguards the Buddhist practitioner from the perils of human life and passages them to the enlightened realm. Meditating upon her brilliant green form in the center of one’s heart is the zenith of approaching Green Tara within ourselves. In this superfine turquoise stone goddess Green Tara, it is the most occult and divine form of the saviouress being revealed, by the meditated efforts of the sculptor.
Turquoise stone in Tibetan culture is called “Yu” and is considered a healing and celestial stone that can change color as per the mood and condition of the owner. This otherworldly quality of Turquoise has given rise to the belief of it being a “live” stone, which is brimming with life-affirming forces. By converging the celestial compassion of Green Tara with the vigor of the excellent green stone, the maker of this Turquoise goddess Green Tara has materialized a powerful totem for a Buddhist or anyone who wishes to achieve the maternal gaze of Green Tara.
On a small Turquoise, the artist has unbelievably etched the deific image of Green Tara, seated on a lotus flower. Her characteristic attributes- flowers held in her hands, her mudra, flowing scarf, and fine garments are marvelously added to this stone Tara image. The aureoles that form the background of this Turquoise image are delineated with masterful detailing, with the miniature vines and symmetrical lines that form an aesthetic element.
The small size of the base stone does not seem to have affected the artist, who has outdone himself by studding the image with lapis lazuli and rubies in the ornamentation of Green Tara, whose countenance is outlined with stunning realism. The natural dark-hued veins on the Turquoise stone have instilled the image with a distinctive picturesqueness. A potable and aesthetic shrine of the compassionate mother Tara, this Turquoise image is a rare and breathtaking manifestation of a devotee’s inner mind, whose sole focus is Arya Tara.
