Oxidized White Tara Sculpture | Seven-Eyed Tara | 8-inch

This 8-inch Oxidized White Tara Sculpture presents Dolkar, the Seven-Eyed Tara, in a distinctive antiquated copper finish that emphasizes the sculptural character of the handmade figure. Cast in copper alloy by Nepali artisans using the traditional lost-wax method, the statue combines warm exposed copper tones with deeply oxidized, near-black surfaces. This contrast defines Tara’s crown, garments, lotus stems, flowing scarves and pedestal while allowing her face, torso and hands to emerge in warmer copper tones. The result is an understated interpretation of White Tara that relies on the natural character of the metal rather than gold gilding.

Oxidized White Tara Sculpture Features

The sculpture preserves the defining iconography of White Tara, also known as Sita Tara, Dolkar and Cintachakra, the “Wish Fulfilling Wheel.” She sits peacefully in full lotus posture upon a lotus throne, surrounded by long, curling scarves and two flowering lotus stems rising beside her shoulders. Her ornate Bodhisattva crown, circular earrings, necklace, arm ornaments and decorative garment borders are carefully modeled, while the darker oxidized treatment gives these details greater visual depth.

Most important are White Tara’s seven eyes: the conventional pair, the vertical wisdom eye upon her forehead, eyes in both palms and eyes traditionally represented on the soles of her feet. Her lowered right hand extends in Varada mudra, the gesture of generosity and compassionate giving, with the additional eye clearly visible in the palm. Her raised left hand displays another palm eye while delicately forming a teaching and refuge gesture beside the lotus stem.

White Tara, Healing and Long Life

White Tara embodies serene compassion and is particularly associated with healing, longevity and the removal of obstacles that threaten life and spiritual practice. Her seven eyes symbolize compassionate awareness extending beyond ordinary perception: she remains attentive to suffering while responding with wisdom. Within Tibetan Buddhism she is one of the Three Long-Life Deities, together with Amitayus and Namgyalma. Practitioners may also explore the traditional White Tara mantra and longevity practice.

The subdued antiquated finish makes this statue especially suitable for an altar where the collector prefers traditional copper coloration over a brightly gilded surface. Turquoise and red coral gemstones may also be embedded into appropriate areas of the crown and jewelry upon request, adding restrained color while preserving the sculpture’s aged character.

A Three-Statue Altar of Purity and Compassion

This White Tara was made in a closely coordinated artistic style with our oxidized Vajrasattva in union and matching Green Tara. Displayed together, the three sculptures create a visually unified altar built around complementary Buddhist qualities. Vajrasattva in union expresses purification and the inseparability of wisdom and skillful means; Green Tara embodies swift compassionate activity and protection; and White Tara represents peaceful compassion, healing and longevity.

For a balanced presentation, Vajrasattva may serve as the central focal point with Green Tara and White Tara positioned on either side. Their similar scale, copper construction and oxidized treatment create visual continuity while each deity remains immediately recognizable through distinct iconography.

Custom Made Oxidized White Tara Statues

Collectors seeking a different size, finish or coordinated altar arrangement may commission a custom Tibetan Buddhist statue handmade in Nepal. A White Tara sculpture can be commissioned with traditional gilding, antiquated or oxidized finishes, selected dimensions and appropriate gemstone embellishment. Coordinated Green Tara and Vajrasattva sculptures can likewise be commissioned to create a harmonious three-statue altar with compatible proportions and craftsmanship.
