Palcho Monastery Lamdre Hall: Sakya Pandita
CHINA, Tibet, Gyantse
Sakya Pandita, the great scholar of the Sakyas, was the Fourth Patriarch of the Sakya school. He died in 1251. The statue depicts him seated cross-legged on a chair decorated with dragon heads, characteristic of the Ming dynasty (1368–1644). The figure is shaven headed and dressed in the skillfully carved maroon robes of a monk. The eyes have a concentrated gaze and the hands are held in the Dharmacakra (Dharma wheel) mudra.
