THE OBJECT · ABOUT THIS PIECE
Wood-Style Green Tara 01
An individually documented Green Tara piece from the ES Collection. The form is machine-demoulded and then hand-coloured by artisans or workshop workers; conflicting historical material records remain intentionally excluded from the consumer description.
THE PROCESS · WHY THIS PIECE IS DIFFERENT
Machine-formed for consistency, finished by hand, then included in a large communal prayer ceremony.
ES follows a different making route from HC and CS. The tsa-tsa forms are machine-demoulded, then individually hand-coloured by ordinary artisans or workshop workers. Finished pieces are also placed together with other objects during large-scale Buddhist prayer ceremonies to receive prayers and blessings as part of the gathering. The significance lies in this combination of accessible production, human hand-finishing and participation in a living prayer context—not in a claim of guaranteed spiritual effect.
THE FIGURE · ICONOGRAPHY
Green Tara
Green Tara is a central Tara form in Tibetan Buddhist art. Her iconography is recognised by a peaceful female figure, lotus imagery and a relaxed seated posture with the right leg extended. This posture creates a visual sense of readiness rather than complete withdrawal into meditation.
Generosity
A recurring meaning of Green Tara’s hand gestures.
Lotus imagery
Frequently accompanies the figure.
Fearlessness
A major theme in several Tara traditions.
Female enlightened imagery
Tara holds an exceptional place in Tibetan Buddhist visual culture.
CULTURAL BACKGROUND
Green Tara in context
The Tara tradition developed into a rich family of forms, with Green Tara among the most familiar. Her asymmetrical posture — one leg folded and the other extended — gives the peaceful figure a sense of potential action. Green Tara is also associated with traditions concerning the “eight fears,” which can be read both as dangers and as symbolic obstacles. These meanings belong to Buddhist culture and practice; they are not presented as a guarantee that the object itself prevents harm.
THE MAKING · PROCESS
How this piece was completed
The tsa-tsa form is machine-demoulded, then individually hand-coloured by artisans or workshop workers before final assembly. Finished ES pieces are included during large-scale Buddhist prayer ceremonies, where they are placed with other objects for prayers and blessing rites. No material composition is stated because the surviving material records conflict.
