The monastic robes are patterned with rabbits, birds, and deer enclosed in quatrefoils, surrounded by floral sprays and geometric grounds. Identified by inscription, Sengge Gyaltsen (14th/15th century) was a Tibetan Buddhist teacher for the Kadam and Sakya traditions. Considered by some to be a reincarnation of Dromton Gyalwa'I Jungne (1005-1064), Sengge Gyaltsen transmitted the Kalachakra teachings to Khedrup Gelek Pelzang (1385-1438), who was instrumental in establishing the Gelug order of Tibetan Buddhism led by the Dalai Lama.His portrait, slender physique, and robes are like several other bronzes of Sengge Gyaltsen, including one in the collection of the Rubin Museum of Art (HAR 65475), one formerly in the Nyingjei Lam Collection and sold at Sotheby's, Hong Kong, 3 October 2017, lot 3110, and two others sold at Bonhams, New York, 14 March 2017, lots 3283 & 3284.
