Compare the ornamentation and iconography with both a contemporaneous bronze figure of Sonam Lhundrub sold at Christie’s New York, 21 March 2018, lot 305, and a contemporaneous portrait of the same illustrated on Himalayan Art Resources, item no. 66792.The inscription on the top of the lotus base reads: Homage to Jamyang S?nam Lhündrup!The bronze is further inscribed: The Sakya monk Tsün[drü] Zang[po] commissioned [this image] in order to repay [his] father’s and mother’s kindness. May they always be cherished in all lifetimes! Mangalam!Special thanks to Dr Yannick Laurent for his assistance with this lot.
