[edit] Summary

A photograph of a portrait painting of Lama Mönke Bormanshinov (1855-1919), the Head Lama of the Don Kalmyks (Buzava) from 1903 until his death in 1919, by Alexander Burtschinow. Lama Bormanshinov is wearing the traditional yellow hat and medals given to him by the Tsar Nicholas II.

Upon completion of the portrait, Mr. Burtschinow gave it to Soki Abushinov as an expression of his respect for Mr. Abushinov’s status as the eldest living person from the Bokshorgankna aimak. Mr. Abushinov passed on the portrait to his son, Basir, who then donated it to the Saksyusn Sune Monastery in the Republic of Kalmykia upon his death.
