Green Tara
tenth karmapa choying dorje (1604 – 1674)
Explore the art of tenth Karmapa Choying Dorje, a 17th-century Tibetan master painter & sculptor. Witness his unique blend of spirituality & artistry.
This sculpture is attributed to the hand of Choying Dorje (1604-1674), the Tenth Karmapa, who was head of the Karma Kagyu School of Tibetan Buddhism. An eccentric figure within the history of Tibetan art, the Tenth Karmapa possessed a highly individual style, looking to a range of traditions for inspiration, including ancient metalwork from Kashmir and Swat. These influences can be seen in this sculpture of the goddess Tara in the elliptical shape of the lotus petals that make up her seat and the striated pattern on her tight-fitting clothing, which closely models her form.Other aspects of the Tenth Karmapa
