Lot 2714 | A GILT-BRONZE FIGURE OF ROLPE DORJE
A GILT-BRONZE FIGURE OF ROLPE DORJE

INCISED QIANLONG WUXU CYCLICAL MARK CORRESPONDING TO 1778 AND OF THE PERIOD

The Lama is seated in dhyanasana on a double-lotus base, wearing a monastic robe with incised foliate hem, his right hand in vitarkamudra, and the left palm facing upwards holding a separately cast kalasa, his face showing a benevolent expression with a small congenital protrusion to the lower right cheek. By each of his arms is a lotus stem, with a sword emerging from the flower on the right side, and a book on his left. The back of the base is incised with an eleven-syllable Tibetan line rendered in Uchen script transliterated as skyabs mgon lcang skya rol ba’i rdor je la na ma, ‘Pay Homage to Supreme Protector Changkya Rolpe Dorje’, above an eight-character Qianlong wuxu cyclical presentation mark.

6 5/8 in. (16.5 cm.), box
