The open right palm denotes her boundless generosity, while the poised left hand holds the stem of the night-blooming lotus, symbolizing compassion that thrives even in darkness. Master metalworkers achieve this striking aesthetic through a precise process of selective oxidation and rigorous hand-polishing. By isolating the bright golden accents against the darkened body, the artisan transforms a traditional icon into a masterful study of light and shadow.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\"\u003eStyling Notes \u0026amp; Home Placement\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;\"\u003ePosition this striking dual-tone Buddhist sculpture on a raw timber console or a dedicated stone mantel, where its high-contrast finish can immediately draw the eye. It serves beautifully as a serene brass Tara idol for meditation altar curation, offering a compassionate focal point for daily spiritual practice. Standing exactly 10 inches tall, the piece shares the approximate vertical stature of a classic mantel clock, establishing a distinct presence without dominating the room. At 3.12 kg, the concentrated mass of the thick cast metal provides undeniable physical permanence to the tabletop. The intense manual discipline required to flawlessly execute the selective polishing validates this dark oxidized Tara idol as an elite achievement in traditional foundry work. Complement this piece with a stone inlay brass Vajra box or a stone inlay brass dragon teapot to complete a rich, Himalayan-inspired vignette.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Casa Mandala ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46193352442031,"sku":"VSP-145","price":9400.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0716\/8851\/9855\/files\/176_Compressed.jpg?v=1762252683","url":"https:\/\/www.thecasamandala.com\/products\/gold-accented-brass-tara-statue","provider":"Casa Mandala ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
