Who is this?

[Lhasa]

This is a consecrated statue of a monk in long-life robes. Inside is a scripture with the 'old man' chinese longevity figure on it, a red 4 armed Avalokiteshvara prayer flag with two pieces of Amethyst. The hat has symbols on four sides. I hope they came out ok. Any ideas? It came from the estate of a Sakya lama. For some reason I can't post another picture. He has a scripture resting in his left hand and the right hand is on his knee.

Well the first person that comes into my mind is Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal. I may be wrong though.

Thanks
I did an image search and found other statues very close to this.
Why the longevity robes, why is he associated with that?

O my gosh!! From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhabdrung_Rinpoche

"Another line of claimants to be mind incarnations of Ngawang Namgyal existed in Tibet, and is now represented by Namkhai Norbu, who resides in Italy."

I think it looks very much like Shabdrung Rinpoche, the head of drukpa in Bhutan.
