A POLYCHROME COPPER REPOUSSÉ HEAD OF TARA
MONGOLIA,18TH/19TH CENTURY

蒙古 十八/十九世紀 銅錘揲加彩度母首

This repoussé head of Green Tara, the female bodhisattva of supreme compassion, is depicted here as a supple young woman visible by the soft modelling of her eyes and lips.

Favorable comparisons can be made to an image of Ushnishavijaya in the Newark Museum of Art (HAR 76030) and a large repoussé figure of White Tara in the Philadelphia Museum of Art (1911-98; HAR 87118), both of which share an attribution to Dolonnor in Inner Mongolia and a tall, double-tied hair bun with the following work.

Provenance:
Portobello Market, London, 1990s
