Beautiful gold gilded Green Tara statue measuring 3.5 inches tall.
Closely associated with Buddha Amitabha and Chenrezig, Green Tara is considered the mother of all Bodhisattvas-- in fact, she loves all sentient beings just as a mother would. According to Lama Tharchin, practicing Green Tara offers "protection from all of our fear and suffering, whether immediate or long-term." Yeshe Tsogyal was an emanation of Tara, and Tara is often considered to be the patron protector of Tibet. Of her twenty-one forms, Green is considered the main form of Tara and the source of all her manifestations.
These statues have been gilded through a process of electric gold plating, which deposits a thin layer of gold upon the exterior with an electro-chemical process. The end result is absolutely stunning.
