TWO FINE TIBETO-CHINESE GILT-BRONZE FIGURES OF LAMAS
18TH CENTURY
Each figure is intricately cast wearing robes finely incised with floral scrolls and geometric patterns. The first represents Sachen Kunga Nyingpo seated in dhyanasana with his right hand in varada mudra and the left hand in vitarka mudra. He is identified by the inscription in Tibetan by his feet that translates as "Homage to the great Sakyapa". The other is seated on a double-lotus pedestal holding a vajra in his right hand and a gantha in his left.
The highest 6 in. (15cm.) high
