Sotheby's New York, 22nd March 1989, lot 404.

The finely modeled figure of Green Tara is depicted with her characteristic hand gestures of generosity and blessing and seated in a regal pose with right leg pendent. The sculptural style is Nepalese, seen in the lithe and elegant posture and the rich fire-gilding. The broad, ribbed bangles at the wrist and the three-panel crown set back from the hairline are predominantly Indian Pala period features, suggesting a Tiꦛbetan commission made by Newar artists during the perio🥀d of stylistic transition in Tibet around the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries.

Compare the style of the central crown panel and the gem-set armbands of a fourteenth-century Suvarnamatsya in Ulrich von Schroeder, Buddhist Sculptures in Tibet, vol. II, Hong Kong, 2001, no. 261B; the bangles of a circa thirteenth-century Tara, ibid. 261D; and the necklace style of blind settings and gem set central cluster of a circa fourteenth-century Prajnaparamita, ibid. 261E.
