Bodhisattva dressed with monk garments - carved by the Tenth Karmapa Chöying Dorje (1604-1674)
The dating of this white sandalwood sculpture seems problematic until you realize that it is not actually a work more than one thousand years old as suggested by the style, but much later. Contrary to the First impression, this statue is actually the work of Chos dbyings rdo rje («chöying dorje») (1604-1674) - the Tenth Karmapa.
