Padmasambhava is widely revered across all Tibetan Buddhist orders, given the endearing appellation, Guru Rinpoche ('Precious Teacher'). As the founder of the Nyingma tradition, he is typically identified by an iconic feathered cap. Other iconographic markers of this legendary teacher, who is credited with introducing Buddhism to Tibet, are the skull cup containing a vase of plenty, and the vajra he holds in his hands. For comparison of the footed base and Bhutanese-style lotus leaves, see a Padmasambhava sold at Nagel Auktionen, Stuttgart, 30 October 2015, lot 141, and another sold at Bonhams New York, 14 March 2017, lot 3209.
