Summary

Description
  • English:Standing Tārā statue, Sri Lanka, 7th - 8th century (in the collection of the British Museum). This sculpture is cast in bronze and gilded. The eyes and the elaborately arranged hair were doubtless inlaid with precious stones. The sculpture, according the early 19th century accounts, was found in the eastern province of Sri Lanka between Trincomalee and Batticaloa.
  • Česky:Pozlacená socha Táry, Srí Lanka, 7. - 8. století, nyní ve sbírce Britského muzea. Socha byla nalezena na počátku 19. století ve východní provincie Srí Lanky mezi městy Trincomalee a Batticaloa. Byla dlouho dobu identifikována jako místní bohyně Pattini, jejíž kult je na Srí Lance populární.
    Socha zobrazuje populární buddhistické božstvo - ženského bódhisattvu Táru, jež je družkou Avalókitešváry, bódhistattvy soucitu. Kult Táry je populární v mahájánovém a zejména vadžarjánovém buddhismu, kdežto na Srí Lance je rozšířen již od 3. století př.n.l. théravádový buddhismus. Socha Táry je právě dokladem skutečnosti, že ve 7. století na Srí Lanku pronikla také mahájána. Tato forma buddhismu na Srí Lance zanikla v době vlády krále Parákrama Báhu (1153 - 1186).
    Socha je jednou z nejhezčích ukázek figurálních bronzových odlitků v Asii. Je celá odlita z jedná formy a pozlacena. Oči a komplikovaně naaranžované vlasy byly zcela jistě vykládány drahokamy. Malý výklenek ve vysokém účesu mohl nejspíš obsahovat malé zobrazení sedícího Buddhy. Tára je zobrazena polonahá, zakrytá pouze od pasu dolů. Její práva ruka je v pozici tzv. varadamudry - gesta (mudry) dávání, levá ruka je prázdná, i když pravděpodobně původně držela lotos.
