Iconography & Analysis
This sculpture depicts a high-ranking Lama, seated in Dhyana Asana on a double lotus base. The lama is flanked by two lotuses bearing the attributes of Manjushri: the flaming sword (Kharga) on the right side and the book (Prajnaparamita-sutra) on the left side. The craftsmanship points to the renowned Newar casters from the Kathmandu Valley, who set the highest standard in Tibetan bronze culture in the 18th century. The deep, weathered patina and the historically opened base provide an honest and impressive view of the solid cast structure.
Collector's Value
This object stands out due to the combination of specific iconography and the exceptional quality of the metal. A tangible piece of Tibetan history for the serious collection.
