拍品資料及來源
此高僧像雖身分未明，造型精細，儀容莊嚴。一如西藏佛教造像傳統，本像呈現個人面貌特徵及個性：短髮、張目、耳長垂珠、唇形精緻、體態修長。其雙目、內袍、袈裟下擺聯珠邊錯銀；唇、指甲、袈裟下擺刻飾及下方頭冠部分錯紅銅。
本像盤坐橢圓蓮座，下承嵌寶雙獅階梯台座，可參考另一相類十三世紀佛教高僧像，克里夫蘭博物館藏，見 Jane Casey Singer 編，《The Sculptural Heritage of Tibet: Buddhist Art in the Nyingjei Lam Collection》，倫敦，1999年，頁35，圖51。本品及克里夫蘭博物館藏例皆有彩石鑲嵌，可證早期西藏銅像已有飾鑲寶石。
再比較其他十三至十四世紀西藏金剛薩埵及金剛手菩薩銅像，為菩薩道收藏，出處同上，頁60，圖24及頁98，圖版16。另一十四世紀帕竹噶舉喇嘛像，見 Donald Dinwiddie 編，《Portraits of the Masters: Bronze Sculptures of the Tibetan Buddhist Lineages》，芝加哥，2003年，頁186，編號42。
