This old Tibetan bronze statue depicts Je Tsongkhapa (1357–1419), the revered founder of the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism. The figure is seated in meditation robes with traces of the original red mineral pigment, giving the statue a beautiful aged appearance and authentic devotional character.
The back bears hand-incised Tibetan inscriptions, while the compact size makes it ideal for a home shrine, meditation altar, or collection of antique Himalayan Buddhist art.
Tsongkhapa is honored as a great Buddhist master whose teachings symbolize wisdom, compassion, spiritual discipline, and prosperity through virtue.
