Three Vajradhara Sculpture - Added

These three Vajradhara Sculpture appear to have been made in the same Tibetan workshop at approximately the same time. The style of the sculpture in general follows that of Tsang Province where incising is popular and gilding less common. Note the similarities in the shape and structure of the faces, ornamentation, and double lotus base.


It is also possible that these three Vajradharas are the first figures in sets of the Sakya Margapala (Lamdre) Lineage.
