With its bell-like shape, the double row of lotus petals around the base, the stepped harmika, and the conical arrangement of thirteen bhumis surrounding the central axis, and the lotus-form finial, this stupa has an early Tibetan form associated with the Kadampa tradition. Its designation derives from a stupa of this particular form associated with the great religious leader, Atisha, who disseminated Buddhism throughout the Himalayas in the 11th century. Compare with a closely related example sold in Bonhams, New York, 12 and 13 March 2019, lot 381, and another example sold in Bonhams, Paris, 15 December 2022, lot 141.
