Unidentified Tibetan monastic master
Sitting legs crossed in meditation on a cushion and a lotus pedestal, this monastic master touches the ground with his right hand while his left rests in his lap in contemplation. Aged with bald head and a prominent forehead, the master is clad in monastic robes, resting against a back cushion and an aureole.
This statue compiles very usual iconographic elements – among which the posture – with original physical features. However, this does not allow a clear identification nor a possible affiliation with a specific School of Tibetan Buddhism. Technically, the statue appears embossed with possibly cast parts.
