Statue of Tara

The Statue of Tara is a gilt-bronze sculpture of the Tara that dates from the 8th century AD in Sri Lanka. Found by chance in the early nineteenth century, it was given to the British Museum in 1830 by the former British Governor of Ceylon (as Sri Lanka was known then), Sir Robert Brownrigg.〔(figure ), Collection Online, British Museum, retrieved 9 December 2013〕
==Background==
Buddhism has had a continuous history on the island of Sri Lanka ever since the third century BC. The figure dates to the Sri Lankan Anuradhapura Kingdom founded in 377 BC by King Pandukabhaya. Buddhism played a strong role in the Anuradhapura period, influencing its culture, laws, and methods of governance. Tara shows evidence of the cultural interaction of Buddhism with Hinduism. Tara had been a Hindu mother goddess but was redesigned for a new role within Buddhism.〔 Sri Lanka is today a Theravada Buddhist country, like many other countries in South East Asia.〔(Buddhism in Sri Lanka ), buddhanet.net, retrieved 9 December 2013〕
At one time this statue was thought to be a model of the guardian deity Pattini, but it is now agreed that this statue is of Tara.〔 This identification is clear evidence for the presence in the medieval period of Mahayana Buddhism as well as the Theravada form of the faith which allows Buddhists to worship beings other than Buddha. The statue suggests that Tara may have been worshipped as a deity and not just as the consort of a male god.〔
