		The presence of the Sakyapa teachers adds to the uncertainty because of their strong ties with the Chinese court.
		While an exact date is difficult to suggest until both Sakyapa hierarchs flanking Sakya Pandita are definitely identified, it does seem to be an earlier rather than a later thanka, whether painted in Tibet or China.
		Therefore, it is not improbable that this thanka was painted in a Sakyapa establishment by one of the Chinese artists imported into their realm during the fifteenth century.

		The Sakyapa constitutes a derivative sect of Tibetan Buddhism arising in the 11th century west of Zhigatse town.
		As the teachings of Padmasambhava were inspired with newer ideas, the Sakyapa school arose as a syncretic faith combining the original Nyingmapa teachings of the 8th century with 10th century movements.
		This Sakyapa art reminds me of the Hieronymous Bosh painting I once saw in the Prado of Madrid: it emits a spark that feels closely akin to Bosh's early modern spirit.

		Shugden is not acceptable to Sakyapas, in the form given by it's Gelugpa followers, being, on the contrary, merely a harmful spirit.
		This should be also compared to the forceful converting to it, of the Sakyapa sect of Jonang at the same period, and which thus illustrated the high-handed techniques being used, likewise, by the Gelugpas to insure their power at that time...and through til today.
		At the same time, the Gelugpas banned the Sakyapa Jalpo deity and highjacked their lineage (of Sakya) to make the Jalpo fake lineage of Shugden and thus debased the lineage to a demonic status, which would be that of Jalpo.

	Sakyapa Abbot Description
		The Abbot’s peaceful face, aside from his wide pensive eyes, exhibits the thin, deep eyebrows and set lips common to sculpture from this time period of the Sakyapa order.
		The jet-fl, closely shaved head of the Abbot provides the only appearance of paint in the piece, aside from a hint of red behind his arms.
		The diminutive stature of the gilt bronze figure of a Sakyapa Abbot belies the intricacy and love of detail found in works from Central and Southern Tibet during the 16th century.
