From the perspective of subject, this White Tara is the incarnation of Gunyin. Because she has eyes on forehead, on hands and on the arch of feet, so she is also called Seven Eye Tara, known for compassion, long life, healing and serenity. Commonly seen figures of Tara in Pala style are Green Tara, this White Tara is very rare. The lot is cast seated in dhyanasana on a double lotus base, the right hand lowered in varadamudra, the left hand raised chest originally holding a floral stem, wearing an elborate beaded necklace inset with turquoise and coral, a loose skirt spread over the base and leaving the torso bare but covering the lower part of the body in long dress with delicate rhombus patterns consist of rose copper and white silver, also embroidered with silver. The figure's face is with a gentle smile and framed by a high five-pointed crown. The material is gilt bronze, and due to good preservation of generations, the cot is very smooth.
