Item: Teacher (Lama)

Lama, Buddhist: white in complexion with the right arm raised holding a sword of wisdom edged with orange flames. The left hand in the mudra (gesture) of meditation holds a religious book. Robed in the orange garb of a monk, he wears a dark yellow pandita hat, seated on a lotus blossom with the legs in vajra posture, surrounded by radiant light. At the sides and above are various buddhas and deities. Two offering goddesses seated below play musical instruments.
