Subject:Help with Copper Alloy/Bronze Green Tara - Sino-Tibetian?
Posted By: Elke Tue, Jan 05, 2016 IP: 78.50.225.227
I have a nice Green Tara and like to know more about it.
It is ca 13,4 inches/34 cm high, 2,5 kg weight, the basic material seems to be copper-alloy or bronze and also shows some faded black paint. The figure has a lot of ornaments and decoration, it has a nice patina.
Any opinions and knowledge about it`s origin and age are wellcomed...and what should it be worth? I paid 35€/37$ in an antiques furniture store last year, what seemed rather cheap to me.

Thanks very much!

Elke, Germany

Your Tara is Nepalese and looks to have genuine age so yes, you got a bargain.

Thank you very much for the hint, Mike. I will search further for nepalese similar objects.
If anybody could give any more hints/insight is warmly welcomed.

Best wishes from Northern-Germany,
Elke
