White Tara Thangka No 337

The Goddess Tara takes on many forms and in this beautiful traditional thangka painting she is depicted as White Tara, the goddess of health, healing and longevity. She has seven eyes - one in the forehead and one on each hand and foot - which symbolize her compassion to keep watch over the suffering world. Known as Thangkas or Thankas, these stunning works of Buddhist art are each carefully hand painted with natural dyes and colourings. They have been painstakingly constructed by extremely skilled artists in Nepal. Each of these large pieces is unique and has a deeply intricate and elaborate composition. All of our Thangkas are presented in their own traditional brocade trim and veil hanging. Inc brocade approx.: 87cm × 56cmPainting approx.: 37cm × 26cm
