The goddess Tara who commonly appears in Nepalese Buddhism is depicted here in monochrome. Devendra Man Sinkhwal excels in monochrome expression. His work is characterized by having a surface that gives a feeling of somewhat moist texture. The expression found in the voluminous seat area and halo make them appear as wood-carved and represent the architectural style peculiar to the Kathmandu Valley.
