Tara Statue - Antique Java Style Majapahit Seated Bronze Devi Tara Nyurma Pamo - 31cm/12"
Measurements Height 31cm/12"
An antique Java Style seated bronze Devi Tara sculpture. In Buddhism, Tara is a Bodhisattva. She is the Goddess of Compassion.
Here, Tara Nyurma Pamo, is presented. Also known as the "Swift and Heroic Tara," she is one of the 21 manifestations of Tara, a revered female bodhisattva in Buddhism.
Representing swiftness, energy, and the power to overcome obstacles, her imagery is rich with artistic and symbolic meaning that transcends spiritual practice and offers inspiration to artists and admirers alike.
Here Tara is seated in half lotus, Padmasana pose. Her right hand holds a conch shell.
In the hands of Tara Nyurma Pamo, the conch shell symbolizes the resonance of truth and the power of her teachings. Traditionally, the conch is used as a horn in Buddhist rituals, its sound representing the awakening of the mind and the spread of dharma (spiritual teachings).
In artistic depictions, the conch shell not only signifies her role as a divine protector but also her ability to cut through ignorance with clarity and wisdom.
Tara holds in her left hand the stem of a lotus flower which extends above her shoulder.
The lotus flower, another important element in her imagery, represents purity and spiritual awakening. In Buddhist iconography, the lotus blooms above murky waters, symbolizing the ability to rise above suffering and maintain purity of spirit. Reinforcing her connection to enlightenment and the transcendence of worldly attachments.
She wears a simply decorated dhotis and upavitas. Her face has a serene downcast gaze.
Tara wears a decorative Javanese style tiara, on her head, in front of her Kirita-Makuta or tall conical crown. This symbolises her control over Positive and Negative attitudes.
She has an aquiline nose and elongated earlobes with large earrings.
Through the lens of art, Tara Nyurma Pamo serves not only as a spiritual guide but also as a reminder of the boundless potential for compassion and action in the face of adversity. Her classic image invites viewers to connect with the dynamic energy she embodies and to find inspiration in her courageous spirit.
