Katog Tsewang Norbu (1698-1755)

Although one of the most important teachers of 18th century Tibet, Tsewang Norbu is not well represented in painting and sculpture. The HAR website contains one image where Tsewang Norbu is depicted as the large central subject and three other images of paintings where he is portrayed as a secondary figure. It is likely that more images of this important author, teacher and diplomat will turn up in the near future now that we are on the look out for his distinctive iconographic appearance.
