Green Tara Statue | 9″ Crystal Body | Gold Gilded | Authentic Nepal

This 9″ Green Tara statue — known in Tibetan as Jetsun Dolma, “Noble Lady Tara” — is distinguished by its natural crystal body, hand-carved and assembled alongside the fire gilded copper throne, crown, embedded semi-precious stones, and ornamental detailing to create a figure with the translucent, internally luminous quality that no gilded surface alone can produce. Semi-precious stones are embedded throughout the jewelry. At the buyer’s request, the crown and earrings can be additionally embellished with turquoise and red coral stones at no extra charge — submit the preference before shipping. The statue was crafted in Patan, Nepal using the traditional lost wax sculpting method.

Jetsun Dolma — the Tibetan name combines Jetsun (venerable, noble) and Dolma (she who liberates) — is Green Tara, the swift protector and most universally beloved female deity in Tibetan Buddhism. She is regarded as a fully enlightened Buddha — her green form specifically associated with the quality of immediate response, compassionate action without hesitation or deliberation. The turquoise stones in the crown carry their own iconographic resonance: turquoise combines the blue of the Buddhas (purity) with the green of Tara herself (active compassion), the two qualities that together characterize her enlightened presence.

Nepali Jetsun Dolma Statue Features

Jetsun Dolma is depicted in lalitasana — the royal ease posture — seated on a single lotus pedestal with her left leg folded in meditation and her right leg partially extended, poised for immediate action. Both hands hold the stems of utpala lotus flowers between thumb and index finger, the stems rising to bloom over each shoulder — the open flowers symbolizing enlightened awareness in full expression, the beauty of liberation fully realized and offered to all beings. Her right hand simultaneously displays the Varada mudra — the gift-giving gesture, palm open toward devotees — extending her offer of protection and blessings to all who call upon her.

The crystal body gives this statue an exceptional meditative quality — particularly when placed where natural or candlelight can pass through the figure, creating an effect of inner radiance consistent with the visualization practices in which Tara is often depicted as a being of green light. At 9″ this is a personal altar size, the right scale for a home shrine or meditation space where a statue of refined material quality is preferred over a larger standard-finish piece.
