The label accompanying this sash indicates that it was gifted to the Buddhist monk Jamgon Ngawang Gyeltsen (1647-1732). Born in Bhutan, Jamgon Ngawang Gyeltsen was sent as an ambassador to Sanggye Tenpa, the King of Derge in 1688 where he resided at the Lhundrubteng Monastry until 1695. During his time at the monastery he was a trusted advisor to the King, settling controversies and giving instruction. As he did not want to own any material goods, Gyeltsen left all his possessions to the monks of Lhundrnbteng when he returned to Bhutan, which would have included this sash.
