A gilt copper statue of Tara, the female bodhisattva of compassion in Tibetan Buddhism, made in Nepal and dated to the 17th or 18th century. Held by the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive at the University of California, Berkeley. The figure is shown in the seated posture and mudras standard to Nepalese and Tibetan images of Tara, one of the tradition's most widely reproduced devotional forms across the Himalayan region. No accession number is given on either accepted record; museum and place of origin are as stated on the photographer's own file documentation.
