Treasures from the

Nyingjei Lam Collection

Lots 943 - 948

The Nyingjei Lam Collection was formed in the 1970s and 1980s by
a passionate collector based in the Far East for almost fifty years.
The quality of the collection is unparalleled in diversity and rarity
of sculpture, spanning a millennium, and is considered one of the
gold standards in the field of collecting Himalayan Art. “Nyingjei
Lam” translates to “Paths of Compassion”.
Bonhams is honored to be presenting select works, supporting the
Nyingjei Lam Trust’s mission of education and social projects in India
and other regions around the globe.
The following six sculptures from the Nyingjei Lam Collection,
have been on long- term loan, for more than ten years, to the Rubin
Museum of Art, New York.
