Lot Essay

Heavily cast gilt bronze plaques of this type are characteristic of the Kagyu monastic complex of Densatil, southeast of Lhasa. Founded in the late 12th century, it enjoyed generous patronage and was lavishly decorated during a period of expansion from circa 1360 throughout late 16th century.
