Master of the Kagyü tradition cast by a Newar artist of the Kathmandu Valley
This portrait statue cast in silver represents a still unidentified Tibetan tantric master. He is not dressed with the monastic robes of a monk, but wears instead the garments of a wealthy lay tantric practitioner. The robe is made of Chinese brocade decorated with roundels, bound at the waist with a belt intricately inlaid with copper and gold.
