Devi Tara is the name given to the queen of the Buddhist heavens, the equivalent of the Hindu Devi Parvati. She was a princess of the earth and became a Bodhisattva, as such she is the rarest of the rare female Bodhisattva. The work of art describes Devi Tara in a deeply contemplative mood, designed as a eye catching and lively wall-hanging. It is sculpted from pure brass and has the rich, golden tones characteristic of the medium. The full, gorgeously featured face of an eternally youthful yogini; framed by long, shapely ears from the lobes of which dangle diamond karnakundalas. An irresistibly handsome brow and half-shut eyes; a sharp aquiline nose and a plump, compassionate mouth. The third golaka (organ) of vision has sprouted on Her temple, right at the rim of the crown on Her head.
