As one of the three principle religious protectors of the Gelukpa tradition, Yama Dharmaraja was held in high esteem at the Qing court,resulting in the production of large, high-quality gilded images such as the current example, which is intricately cast and embellished with beaded jewelry.For a Qianlong reign-marked parcel-gilt figure ofYama Dharmaraja from the Qing Court Collection, preserved in the Palace Museum, Beijing, seeThe Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum: Buddhist Statues of Tibet, Hong Kong, 2003, pl. 205.
