Green Tara

Here you see a wonderful green Tara statue (34cm), which is not painted but very elaborately oxidised in the different colours.

This means that the colours are stable and cannot be wiped off. 

Such a procedure was new to me, but now I had it done and I am totally enthusiastic about the statue.

This figure has a very balancing and at the same time benevolent effect.

Such a Tara statue can stay with you for decades and convey peace and a sense of compassion.

This Green Tara statue is perfect in all criteria and almost alive !

The statue is much more beautiful than on the pictures !
