la majestueuse figure de Shyama Tara avec une expression sereine de bonté, assise en lalisatana sur un haut trône de lotus, son pied droit soutenu par une fleur de lotus émergeant de la base, elle porte une parure de bodhisattva incrustée de pierres semi-précieuses, un foulard autour de ses épaules et un sari attaché autour de son buste nu; sa longue robe finement ciselée à l'ourlet d'une bordure de fleurs et soutenue par une attelle incrustée de pierreries, sa main droite en varada mudra, le geste de la charité, et sa gauche en vitarka mudra, pour l'argumentaire, chacune tenant la tige d'une grande fleur détachable ornant ses épaules de part et d'autre, une représentation de son parent Amithaba émergent de sa haute coiffure.
