TIBETO-CHINESE, 18TH CENTURY 7 3/8 in. (18.7 cm.) high
The founder of the Gelukpa sect is depicted in his standard form, holding the stems of lotuses flowering along his upper arms supporting a manuscript and, once, a sword; his face displays a serene expression with downcast eyes. The sculpture is executed in a style typical of the mid-Qing period, with great attention paid to the folds of his three-piece garment, which fall elegantly atop the base, cast with wide, flat lotus petals.
