A large gilt copper alloy figure of Tara, Ming dynasty (1368-1644).

Portrayed seated in lalitasana with hands in varada- and vitarkamudra, with downcast eyes beneath a tiered crown fronting a tall chignon, wearing a dhoti, elaborate jewelry and long scarf, with long-stemmed lotus issuing from the palms and rising to the shoulders, the pendent right foot going over the double lotus throne. Height 26 cm. Weight 4243 gram.

Attibutes missing.

Provenance

From the collection of a Swedish couple who were members of the Swedish Missionsförbundet in Falköping (Mission Covenant Church of Sweden, founded in 1878). They aquired it from members of their congregation who were missionarys in China in the early 20th Century. Thence by descent to their grandchildren.
