This statue represents the spiritual and
sensual Buddhist goddess Tara. It was crafted from metal and is 143 centimeters
tall. This statue would have been placed
next to her male counterpart, the
bodhisattva, Avalokiteshevara in a Buddhist temple. It was the
center for meditation because a bodhisattva was a person who had reached
enlightenment but elected to stay behind to help the rest of mankind reach
enlightenment as well.
