Kunzang Akor - the most important Bon Sculpture to appear since the Identification of the Sherab Chamma at LACMA
This Kunzang Akor is the most important Bon sculpture to appear in years. Back in 2006 a Sherab Chamma sculpture in the collection of LACMA, previously described as an early Himalayan goddess, was identified as a very early standing figure of the most important female deity of the Bon religion. Now, this Kunzang Akor has surfaced from a private collection. It is large, beautifully cast and appears to be from the Khassa Malla workshops of West Nepal. It is possible that it was created for the Bon temples in the Dolpo region of West Nepal. The image is not yet uploaded to the HAR website but will be added soon.
