This serene figure depicts Je Tsongkhapa (1357-1419), the revered founder of the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism, regarded as the most influential figure in Tibetan history. Typical of images bearing his likeness, he sports his signature widow's peak while arranging his hands into the symbolic gesture of Progressing the Dharma (dharmachakrapravartana mudra). Despite being made later, the artist must have carefully studied Tsongkhapa's characteristics from earlier paintings or sculptures, as he successfully envisioned the teacher within his physical prime before he grew a rotund belly. Here, the naturalism of his calm demeanor, relaxed shoulders, and elegant fingers give the lauded master a human quality. The sculpture's inscription also retains such sentiment, recording that it was made for one of Tsongkhapa's descendants. Impressive is the sophisticated representation of Tsongkhapa's patchwork robe incised with scrolling vines of interspersed lotus buds and blossoms and the distinctive depiction of a bowl containing the flaming triple gem (triratna) behind his collar. This symbol represents Buddhism's "three jewels": the Buddha, the Dharma, and the monastic community. Such details set this figure apart as one of the finer examples of Tsongkhapa made in the later period of Tibetan sculpture (17th-19th centuries).
As a highly respected spiritual leader and scholar, Tsongkhapa's popular portrayal in images continued well into the 18th century and beyond. He is often depicted like this, holding lotus flowers supporting a sword and a sutra, the attributes of Manjushri, the Bodhisattva of Perfected Wisdom, of whom Tsongkhapa is revered as an incarnation. A closely related bronze depicting the Second Panchen Lama from the late 17th century was formerly in the Portraits of the Masters Collection and sold at Bonhams, New York, 14 March 2017, lot 3296 (fig. 1). Other related sculptures, densely cast with the figure seated on a single row of large upturned petals, include a figure of two unidentified lamas sold at Sotheby's, London, 18 April 1983, lot 52 and 10 March 1986, lot 138, and one of Buddha Amitabha from the 18th century sold at Bonhams, New York, 14 September 2015, lot 61.
這尊寧靜的造像描繪宗喀巴大師（1357-1419），西藏佛教格魯派備受崇敬的創始人，被視為西藏歷史上最具影響力的人物。此造像如同大多數表現其形象的作品，他留著標誌性的美人尖髮際線，雙手結「轉法輪印」，象徵傳播佛法。儘管這尊造像的製作年代較晚，但製作者顯然仔細研究過早期畫像或雕塑中宗喀巴的特徵，成功再現了他尚未發福前的壯年形象。在此作品中，他安詳的神情、放鬆的肩膀以及優雅的指尖都展現了這位受人景仰的大師溫潤的人性。雕像上的銘文同樣展現了這種情感，記錄此像係為宗喀巴的後裔而製。引人矚目的是宗喀巴大師拼接僧衣上的精細雕飾：連綿的卷草紋中穿插蓮苞與盛放蓮花，且在衣領後方獨特地描繪了一只盛有火焰三寶的寶鉢；此符號代表佛教的「三寶」——佛、法與僧。這些細節使得此造像成為十七至十九世紀西藏造像後期關於宗喀巴的佳作之一。
身為備受尊崇的宗教領袖與學者，宗喀巴的形象在十八世紀乃至更晚時期仍常見於各式藝術作品。他經常被描繪成現在這樣的姿態：雙手持蓮花，花上分別承托劍與經卷，象徵文殊菩薩的智慧法器——宗喀巴即被視為文殊菩薩的化身。十七世紀晚期有一尊與之非常相近、描繪第二世班禪喇嘛的銅像，原屬「大師之像」收藏（Portraits of the Masters Collection），並於2017年3月14日於紐約邦瀚斯拍賣，拍品3296（圖1）。其他幾件相似的造像，皆以單排大型上翻的蓮瓣為座，例如身份未定的二喇嘛像，曾於1983年4月18日及1986年3月10日分別在倫敦蘇富比拍賣（拍品52及138），以及一尊十八世紀的無量光佛像，於2015年9月14日在紐約邦瀚斯拍賣，拍品編號61。
