Green Tara
Color on cloth
綠度母像
中國
此圖為十三世紀西藏中部之唐卡。描繪綠度母安坐於寶石鑲嵌的印度式龕座中，頭及身軀略向右傾，左手拈青色莖蓮，右手掌心朝下，左腳盤屈，右足垂下，姿態穩健優雅。頂戴五花冠，佩大耳環，全身盛飾瓔珞。臉圓，鼻高，唇小，圓肩細腰，手腳修長，突顯女性造型之美。龕內豔紅的背景襯托度母柔和的綠色身相。
度母身後龕屏彩繪獸面、龍、摩竭、獅、羊和象。龕頂有三座小佛塔，龕外細描夜色中的山林野趣，由十七種不同種類的菩提樹構成，虛空中散落花雨。畫面豐富多姿，更顯主尊的莊嚴。
此圖曾被視為尼泊爾作品，然唐卡背面題有藏文陀羅尼和詩偈，故知是西藏中部較早期融合印度、尼泊爾傳統風格之人物代表佳作。
