Each figure is formed from a copper body and enriched with radiant 24K gold gilding, detailed acrylic painting, and carefully placed gemstones. The golden finish emphasizes the folds of the monastic robes, peaceful facial features, hand gestures, floral stems, and individually sculpted lotus pedestals. Painted details define the eyes, lips, hair, and other selected elements, while gemstone accents introduce subtle color throughout the coordinated composition. The impressive scale and balanced three-figure arrangement make this set especially suited to a Gelug lineage altar, Buddhist study room, monastery, meditation space, or collection of Himalayan sculpture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTsongkhapa is seated at the upper center in the vajra posture, wearing the robes of an ordained monk. His hands are raised before his heart in the Dharmachakra Mudra, symbolizing the teaching and transmission of the Dharma. Lotus stems rise beside his shoulders, traditionally supporting the flaming sword of wisdom and the Prajnaparamita scripture. The sword represents insight that cuts through ignorance, while the book signifies the perfection of wisdom. Seated respectfully below him are his two principal disciples, Gyaltsab Je and Khedrup Je, both portrayed in monastic robes with composed expressions and teaching gestures. Together, the three figures form the revered Je Yab Se Sum—the “Father and Two Sons” triad. Tsongkhapa is honored as the founder of the Gelug tradition, while his disciples represent the preservation, explanation, and continued transmission of his teachings. Their unified arrangement reflects the enduring relationship between teacher, student, study, meditation, and lineage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18.3”\/46.5cm (Height) x 13.5”\/34.5cm (Base)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 23.68 kg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24K Gold Gilded, Acrylic Painting, Copper Body, Gemstones\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJe Tsongkhapa (1357–1419) was a pivotal figure in Tibetan Buddhism, renowned for founding the Gelug school, one of the four main traditions.
