Embodiment of Compassion and Action

This exquisite brass statue portrays the revered Tara, a prominent female bodhisattva in Mahayana Buddhism. Seated gracefully on an intricately crafted lotus pedestal, she embodies active compassion, wisdom, and protection. The lush patina, a testament to the passage of time and the dedication of the artisan, lends an aura of antiquity and spiritual depth to this powerful representation. Tara is not merely a static deity; she is a dynamic force, ever-present to respond to the prayers and suffering of sentient beings. Her name, "Star," signifies her ability to guide beings across the ocean of existence, much like a celestial body guides travelers.

Mythological Resonance and Iconography

According to legend, Tara emerged from the compassionate tears of Avalokiteshvara, the Bodhisattva of Compassion, as he wept at the suffering of the world. This origin story highlights her profound empathy and her commitment to alleviating pain. In Buddhist tradition, Tara is often depicted with multiple forms, each with unique attributes and colors, but her most common form is Green Tara, symbolizing her swift and decisive action. Her right hand is typically shown in the boon-granting gesture (varada mudra), extending outwards to bestow blessings and fulfill wishes, while her left hand may hold a lotus or be in the gesture of protection (abhaya mudra). This particular idol captures her serene countenance, conveying an inner peace that radiates outwards, inspiring tranquility in all who behold her. The elaborate crown and ornate garments speak to her enlightened status and the regal nature of her compassionate reign.

Artistry and Spiritual Significance

The detailed craftsmanship of this brass statue is evident in every aspect, from the delicate floral motifs adorning her robes to the precise rendering of her facial features. The lotus upon which she is seated is a powerful symbol in Buddhism, representing purity, enlightenment, and spiritual awakening, as it rises unstained from the muddy waters of samsara. The artist has masterfully captured the essence of Tara's benevolent gaze and her poised, meditative posture, inviting contemplation and devotion. This idol serves as a focal point for meditation and prayer, a tangible reminder of the boundless compassion available to all. Its presence can foster a sense of peace, courage, and inspiration, encouraging practitioners to cultivate their own compassionate nature and to act with wisdom and grace in their daily lives. This piece is more than just an object of art; it is a conduit for spiritual connection and a testament to the enduring power of Buddhist iconography.

How to keep a Brass statue well-maintained?

Brass statues are known and appreciated for their exquisite beauty and luster. The brilliant bright gold appearance of Brass makes it appropriate for casting aesthetic statues and sculptures. Brass is a metal alloy composed mainly of copper and zinc. This chemical composition makes brass a highly durable and corrosion-resistant material. Due to these properties, Brass statues and sculptures can be kept both indoors as well as outdoors. They also last for many decades without losing all their natural shine.

Brass statues can withstand even harsh weather conditions very well due to their corrosion-resistance properties. However, maintaining the luster and natural beauty of brass statues is essential if you want to prolong their life and appearance.

The best and simplest way to maintain a brass statue is to clean it at least twice a week using a soft cloth or cotton rag. This will prevent dust from accumulating on the surface. Dusting is especially important for outdoor statues since it is prone to dust accumulation much more than indoors.

To give a natural shine and luster to the statue, you may apply coconut or olive oil using cotton on every portion. You can use a toothbrush to get to the small crevices but do not be too harsh. This will make the brass statue appear fresh and new with a polished look.

In case you have a colored brass statue, you may apply mustard oil using a soft brush or clean cloth on the brass portion while for the colored portion of the statue, you may use coconut oil with a cotton cloth.

Brass idols of Hindu Gods and Goddesses are especially known for their intricate and detailed work of art. Nepalese sculptures are famous for small brass idols portraying Buddhist deities. These sculptures are beautified with gold gilding and inlay of precious or semi-precious stones. Religious brass statues can be kept at home altars. You can keep a decorative brass statue in your garden or roof to embellish the area and fill it with divinity.
