Seated Tara by an unknown artist depicts a bronze sculpture of a female figure sitting cross-legged on a decorative base. The figure sits on a lotus flower base with a tiered, scalloped edge. The figure is adorned with multiple necklaces and earrings. Her hair is styled in an updo. She wears a decorative top with puffy, short sleeves. Her right hand is positioned in front of her chest and her left hand rests on her knee. The figure appears to be gilded. The background of the image is a gradient gray.
