A TIBETAN GILT BRONZE FIGURE OF SEATED AMITAYUS
15th Century

H: 18.2 cm

This figure of Amitayus wears a coronet with an ushnisha on his head, annular rings hung below his ears. His face has a square shape, with a solemn expression on it. Shoulders wide and waist trim, the figure is represented with a jade and pearl necklace and a long chain on the upper body, lower half covered in a long skirt also with a jade and pearl belt, wrists and ankles bearing bracelets. A great number of pearls and precious stones were used on this figure, and the robe is depicted realistically with delicate draperies. The deity is seated in rajalilasana on a raised double lotus throne, the petals of lotus all exquisitely made. The figure has a perfect proportion and a delicate design, with the splendid golden glitter making it an exceptional addition to Buddhist arts collection.
