Each Statue Size : 10.00 inch Height X 6.50 inch Width X 4.50 inch Depth

1. Avalokiteshvara

2. Goddess Green Tara

3. Vajrasattva

4. Goddess White Tara

5. Aparmita Buddha

6. Manjushri

A set of six, superbly carved figurines. Deities of the Buddhist pantheon: (clockwise from the central-frontal murti) Avalokiteshvara with the wish-fulfilling jewel, the beauteous Green Tara, Her twin the lovely White Tara, Aparamita Buddha as the bestower of longevity, Manjushri wielding a sword that cuts through avidya, and Vajrasattva holding up the vajra.

Made from oxidised copper, these murtis exhibit a solemn, monotone colour finish. Oxidised copper as a medium is the result of a complex, artisanal process. Pure copper is carefully oxidised first to copper oxide, then to cuprous sulfide; at the end of which copper carbonate is achieved.

Each murti in this ensemble qualifies as an independent work of art. You may arrange them neatly together in a quiet corner of your home or office surface, perhaps an altar; alternatively, you may place each icona round the house to even out the spread of auspiciousness.

Embrace Enlightenment with the Noble Taras

Behold a magnificent collection of six intricately crafted statues, each representing a manifestation of the revered Tara, the female bodhisattva of compassion, action, and wisdom. These museum-quality sculptures hail from Nepal, a land steeped in spiritual devotion and artistic mastery. Cast in oxidized copper, these statues exude an aura of timeless elegance and profound sanctity. Each Tara is depicted in a seated posture, adorned with delicate jewelry and serene expressions, inviting contemplation and spiritual connection. Their multiple arms symbolize the myriad ways in which compassion and wisdom manifest to aid sentient beings.

Echoes of Ancient Wisdom

The Taras are deeply woven into the tapestry of Mahayana Buddhism, particularly within Tibetan and Nepalese traditions. Legend has it that Tara emerged from a single tear shed by the bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara, a testament to her profound empathy and boundless compassion for the suffering of the world. She is known by many names and forms, each embodying different qualities and powers. Some are depicted as wrathful, dispelling obstacles and overcoming negativity, while others are serene and nurturing, offering solace and guidance. This set captures the multifaceted nature of Tara, offering a comprehensive representation of her divine attributes. They serve as powerful reminders of the inherent potential for enlightenment and liberation within all beings.

Artistry Rooted in Tradition

These statues are not merely objects of devotion but also testaments to the enduring artistic heritage of Nepal. The skilled artisans have employed traditional casting techniques, meticulously shaping the oxidized copper to capture the subtle nuances of each divine form. The elaborate detailing on the halos, garments, and pedestals speaks to a deep understanding of iconographic symbolism. The oxidized finish lends a rich patina, enhancing the depth and character of the sculptures, making them appear as if they have been venerated for centuries. The bases themselves are works of art, intricately carved with traditional motifs, providing a stable and majestic foundation for these enlightened beings.

A Sanctuary of Serenity

Imagine the transformative power these statues can bring to your sacred space. Whether placed in a home altar, meditation room, or as a focal point of artistic appreciation, they radiate an palpable sense of peace and spiritual presence. The serene visages and graceful forms of the Taras are designed to inspire mindfulness, cultivate inner calm, and foster a deeper connection to the spiritual path. This set offers an unparalleled opportunity to bring the blessings and wisdom of these revered deities into your life, creating an atmosphere of devotion and tranquility. They are more than just statues; they are conduits of divine energy and symbols of hope.

How are Nepalese copper statues made?

Nepalese statues and sculptures are best known for their unique small religious figures and ritual paraphernalia for over two thousand years. These are mainly cast in copper alloy. Nepal draws influences from the artistic styles of Buddhism and Hinduism, and therefore the sculptors of the country specialize in making the icons of both these religions. Over the years, Nepalese sculptures evolved into their own distinctive iconography. Some characteristic features of these sculptures that differ from other pieces are exaggerated physical postures, youthful and sensual features, languid eyes, wider faces having serene expressions, and ornate flourishes. The Buddhist deity icons of Nepal have tremendous demand in countries such as China and Tibet for ritual purposes in their temples and monasteries.

Nepalese statues and sculptures have a high copper content and therefore develop a slightly reddish patina on the surface as they age. However, the most unique feature of Nepalese copper statues is their decorative detailing. The pieces are heavily gilded and sometimes inlaid with semi-precious stones. This embellishment protects them from getting tarnished. The traditional lost-wax method for casting Nepalese copper statues remains the most practiced technique in Nepal for many centuries. This process involves many steps and requires skilled artists.

The first step in lost-wax sculpting is to make a wax replica of the desired Buddhist deity to be cast in copper. This replica is created by hand and therefore needs excellent artistic skills otherwise fine features will be lacking.

Once the wax replica is made, it is then coated with a special mixture of clay with a brush. This layer of clay is hardened when left to dry. A small hole is made on the base of the wax mould so that the wax flows away when it is heated.

At this stage, a hollow mould in the shape of the deity is obtained.

This is the time to pour liquid copper into the hollow mould which is then allowed to cool and harden inside a container of cold water. When the liquid metal has hardened, the mould is removed and the statue within is revealed.

The artist works on the details of the statue using various tools. It is then polished to get a shiny and lustrous surface.

Now comes the most important part of Nepalese art which is gold gilding. This is done by the traditional fire gilding method. A mixture of mercury and 18K gold is applied on the surface of the statue and heat is applied using a flame torch. The result is that mercury evaporates along with impurities, leaving a pure 24K gold finish.

The lost-wax method of sculpting is the most preferred technique

for artists to cast a metallic statue having intricate details. Since Nepalese copper sculptures require extraneous effort for giving a majestic look by adding special embellishments, it takes several weeks to complete one masterpiece. A 24K gold gilded copper sculpture retains its brilliant luster for many years and appears as like before. Nepalese sculptures continue to remain one of the finest specimens of the art of the East that have a strong aesthetic appeal that other sculptures cannot match.
