This set of two identified compositions, 407 & 675, appears to belong to a full set of the Sertreng Lineage paintings. Compositions that also should be proper Sertreng Lineage paintings are HAR #107, 937, 65603, 65823, 85709, 98941 and 102244. There is some doubt concerning the remaining compositions.

This group of Three Compositions could possibly be complete and represents Karmapa, Shamar and Situ, similar to a triptych.
