We have seen similar statues of Tara standing on a double-lotus base, with her hair gathered in two large bunches and adorned with a single-leaf tiara, displaying a gem in her right hand and holding the stem of a water lily (missing here) in the other. In this case the gem is a piece of turquoise, her jewellery is inlaid with turquoise, and there is a ruby at the top of the flaming halo.
