Over centuries, painters and sculptors in the Himalayan world retained his core attributes while varying scale, colour and style. This continuity matters on a small tsa-tsa: even at intimate size, the figure remains connected to a much larger Buddhist visual tradition. What makes this piece compelling is the combination of that recognisable iconography with the non-uniform surface of an individually pressed and painted object.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/section\u003e\n    \u003csection class=\"pdp-v3__section pdp-v3__making\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"pdp-v3__section-head\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pdp-v3__tag\"\u003eTHE MAKING · PROCESS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow this piece was completed\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eHand-pressed from local Shiqu clay in a traditional mould, naturally dried and hand-painted by a monk.
