Lot 115 | A THANGKA DEPICTING THE SAKYA LAMA LINEAGE
A THANGKA DEPICTING THE SAKYA LAMA LINEAGE

TIBET, 17TH-18TH CENTURY

The painting depicts three Sakya lamas from a Lhakang Chenmo set, two seated on elaborate thrones and the third on a cushion, engaged in dialogue. The central figure is identified by a small inscription on the table of ritual objects before him that may be translated as "Homage to Sabzangpa Chenpo Mati Panchen". These respected teachers wear patchwork robes that are intricately detailed in gold at the hems with floral scrolls and geometric designs. They are surrounded by Buddhist deities and further lamas to the upper and lower registers on a ground of clouds and waves.

The panel, 34 ¼ in. x 22 ¾ in. (87 cm. x 57.7 cm.)
