宗喀巴不僅是西藏格魯派即黃教的創立者,也是藏傳佛教界最為重要的宗教改革家,精神領袖之一,被藏族人民譽為“第二佛”,即釋迦摩尼之後的另一位世間佛尊。此像表現的就是一尊標準的宗喀巴大師像。宗喀巴頭戴黃色的尖頂僧帽,又稱桃形尖帽,後來成為格魯派僧人共同的形象標誌;它與噶當派僧人所戴班智達帽頗為相似,體現了宗喀巴大師對噶當派的忠實繼承。面相飽滿圓潤,慈眉善目,身著交領式坎肩、僧裙和袒右肩袈裟,衣紋自然寫實。紋飾精緻細膩。雙手當胸結說法印,手心各牽一蓮莖,花朵至肩頭盛放。結跏趺坐於蓮花寶座上,姿態端莊。蓮座造型寬大,上緣飾有一週連珠紋,蓮瓣寬大。整軀造型大方,形象莊嚴,工藝精細,鑄胎厚重。 來源:三藩市私人藏家收藏
