綠度母是二十一救度佛母之首，由觀世音菩薩幻化而來的。本尊綠度母身姿修長，體態婀娜，富於女性之柔美風韻。其圓潤的面龐微微右傾，雙目溫蓄地俯視，一雙細眉舒展於飽滿的額上，窄挺的鼻尖下，櫻唇微微上揚。其頭戴五葉寶冠，冠葉細小，冠沿垂下流蘇式瓔珞，富麗華美。度母束髮高髻，發縷絲絲可見，飽滿的耳垂下繫著圓形耳鐺，耳後兩側細長的髮束從雙肩垂落。其胸前與腰間繫有華麗的瓔珞墜飾，手臂、手腕與腳踝佩帶手鐲、臂釧與踝飾。其細長的帛帶自雙肩垂下，輕繞於手臂，衣紋褶皺流暢自然。綠度母右手展開，結與願印；左手拇指與無名指相捻，結說法印，雙手輕捻兩支蓮莖，生出兩朵蓮花挺立在度母兩側。綠度母呈右舒坐之姿，由蓮座中央生出一支小蓮座，托起右足，下承仰覆蓮座，蓮瓣細長而飽滿，座上下緣飾以連珠紋。 來源：維吉尼亞州私人藏家收藏
