Green Tara, also known as Shyamatara, is venerated as a savior and liberator from samsara, the earthly realm of birth and rebirth. According to Buddhist mythology, Green Tara emerged from a lotus bud rising from a lake of the tears of Avalokiteshvara, shed for the suffering of all sentient beings. She embodies compassion in a dynamic form, hence the usual depiction of the goddess with right leg outstretched, ready to leap out to ease suffering.

Literature comparison:
Compare a closely related bronze figure in the National Museum, Wroclaw, illustrated in a statement on new acquisitions by the museum in 2017. Note that this lot is dated 15th-16th century.
