A SET OF NINE LINEAGE CARDS OF BON LAMAS
TIBET, 14TH/15TH CENTURY

西藏 十四/十五世紀 苯教世襲喇嘛卡一組九幀

This set likely represents the lineages of nine Bon teachers. Eight of the lamas are dressed in heavy meditation cloaks, long-sleeved jackets with various hand gestures and attributes, and tall red hats common to the Bon tradition. The remaining ninth tsakli depicts a lama in a yellow pandita hat holding a small phurba in his raised right hand, a gesture copied by two other monks.

The inscriptions on the reverse identify the Bonpo masters as: Gyalton Jonbum; Tashi Drupo; Gyayton Chokyi Senge; Luyi Gyaltsen; Palgi Lodro; Gyalton Sangay; Nyanma Kumara; Nub Dorje; Kharchen Palgi.

Provenance:
Wei Asian Art, Brussels, 1990s
