Tara is worshipped in both Tibet and Nepal as the female counterpart to Avalokiteshvara. She outstretches her hand in the gesture of fearlessness, shielding her followers from potential danger. To further dispel any lingering fears, she closes her eyes half-shut and curls her lips into a sweet, blissful smile. Compare with two other Nepalese examples sold in Bonhams, New York, 23 September 2020, lots 612 & 619.
