Tibetan Bronze and Gilt Temple Shrine Sculpture of Deity Bodhisattva White Tara
Located in Studio City, CA
This is a fantastic piece. Perhaps part of a Tibetan temple shrine at one time. Beautiful faded gilt coloring and patina. We believe this is the Tibeat figure of the white Tara, the goddess of great compassion. She is akin to the Chinese figure of Quan Yin.
We are listing as 20th century but could be older.
Nice size and weight.
Would be a great addition to any collection and sure to stand out in any setting. From a large collection of Chinese and Tibetan antiques...

Located in Moreno Valley, CA
A metal cast bronze finish on brass in beautiful posture figure of Tibetan Buddhist Padmapani Deity Avalokiteshvara

Dimensions: Height : 8.5 inches Width : 4 inches Depth : 2.75.inches.
Asia, Nepal circa 1950's.
"The bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara is the Buddhist embodiment of compassion. He is often portrayed as an elegant and gracious youth.

Buddhist rulers, such as Prince Shotoku in Japan and the Dalai Lama in Tibet, have been seen as incarnations of this saviour.
In Nepal, Buddhism flourished alongside Hinduism long after the religion had lost favour in India. Although the kings of the Early Malla period who ruled the Kathmandu Valley were Hindu, some of the greatest artistic achievements of the age were Buddhist. This gilt copper figure...
