This beautiful bronze figure depicts the great fifteenth-sixteenth century abbot of Lo Manthang in Mustang, Lowo Khenchen Sonam Lhundrub. The inlaid silver eyes and copper lips enliven his serene expression, and the delicately incised details on the hat and robes demonstrate the artist's careful attention to detail. An extensive inscription encircles the bottom of the base and translates to:
To the lord Manjushri, Sonam Lhundrub Legpa'i Jungne Pal Zangpo,
to your stainless lotus feet,
I Sonam Gyaltsen and all beings bow and go for refuge.
With great love and compassion accept us.
Mangalam, may it be auspicious!
