Object Details

Catalogue Note

Dimensions: H 28 × W 17 cm
Weight: 2.2 kg
Material: Bronze with hand-incised decoration
Tradition: Tibetan Buddhist / Gelug
Period: Circa 1920–1940

This substantial bronze depicts Je Tsongkhapa, founder of the Gelug school, seated on a double lotus throne with the hands in a teaching gesture. Lotus stems rise toward the shoulders and support attributes associated with Manjushri's wisdom tradition.

After casting, patterns were incised by hand into the robe, giving the surface a distinctly worked character. Dark oxidation and wear remain visible on the face and hands.

Condition

Good older condition with patina and age-related wear.

Iconography and Context

The figure belongs to the wider visual culture of Asian Buddhist devotion, where posture, attributes and ornament communicate identity and ritual purpose. The complete photographic sequence helps these iconographic details remain readable from every side.

Condition and Display

The bronze with hand-incised decoration surface shows the tonal variation, patina and raised-detail wear described in the catalogue note. The 11 photographs document the sculpture from multiple angles, including the reverse and base.
