Nepalese standing Tara in fire-gilded bronze on a lotus base, 18th–early 19th century

Estimated value: €3,500 – €4,500. This imposing standing Tara was crafted in Nepal and executed in fire-gilded bronze. With a height of 78 cm and a slender, elegant posture, this is a powerful statue that immediately commands attention in a room. The contrapposto, graceful arm support, and richly detailed crown give the statue a lively and refined appearance.

The Tara stands on a classic lotus base and is traditionally hollow-cast. The warm golden skin and natural patina give the statue an authentic and attractive character. The detailing in the face, jewelry, and body aligns well with the Newar tradition from the Kathmandu Valley.

This is a compelling Nepalese temple sculpture from the 18th to early 19th century, suitable as a standalone statement piece or as a centerpiece in a collection. A rare, large standing Tara with strong visual impact and clear historical origins.
