Scientific Analysis Report: The result of a radiocarbon dating test (C14) conducted by Re. S. Artes, no. R 146010A-4, 17 February 2026, based on one sample taken from the back of the neck, is consistent with the dating of this lot. The report states two intervals of dates, namely 1518-1589 with a probability of 63.5 % and 1620-1656 with a probability of 32 %. Thus, the combined probability for a date between 1518 and 1656 is 95.5 %.Finely carved, the deity seated in dhyanasana with her hands held in vitarka mudra with her right lowered and the left raised at her chest, wearing a sheer dhoti secured by a floral belt and richly adorned with a beaded necklace. Her serene face with downcast eyes and bow-shaped lips forming a benevolent smile, flanked by ears issuing large hoop earrings. The hair neatly combed away from the face and tied in a low chignon at the nape of her neck. The figure is finely painted in red and black pigments.Provenance: The collection of Dr. Jean Moreaux, Paris. Dr. Jean Moreaux (d. 2012) was an eminent surgeon, member of the Académie de Médecine, and passionate art lover who patiently assembled his collection over several decades and housed it in his apartment in Paris's 7th arrondissement. His collection reflects a trained and inquisitive eye, revealing an eclectic taste ranging from Asian art to Italian maiolica, from early works to 18th-century furniture.Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age. Expected wear, obvious losses, signs of weathering, age cracks, signs of insect activity, extensive remnants of pigment with flaking and crackling to polychromy, old repairs. The wood with a rich, naturally grown, dark patina.Weight: 13 kgDimensions: Height 73 cmKnown for bestowing longevity, healing, and protection, White Tara is actively worshipped across all schools of Tibetan Buddhism, second only in popularity to Avalokiteshvara. Her practice is widespread in both Nyingma and Sarma tantric traditions. Following Nepalese and Tibetan convention, Tara holds the full status of an enlightened buddha, while appearing in the form of a female bodhisattva—embodied as a youthful, graceful figure of compassion and wisdom. Although she shares the same hand mudras as Green Tara, the two deities can be differentiated by their posture, with White Tara seating cross-legged and Green Tara in royal ease.Auction result comparison: Type: Closely relatedAuction: Stockholms Auktionsverk, 10 June 2025, lot 78Price: SEK 500,000 or approx.
