Votive Plaque with White Taras

The Votive Plaque with White Tara by an unknown artist shows a circular, bronze plaque with a raised image. The plaque has a raised border around the edge. Inside the border, a figure sits cross-legged on a lotus flower base. The figure has four arms and appears to be holding objects in each hand. The figure wears a crown on its head. There are decorative swirls on either side of the figure. The plaque has a brown patina and appears to be weathered. The background of the image is off-white.
