This impressive and serene sculpture depicts Amitayus, the Buddha of Infinite Life, a revered figure in Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism.
Seated in the full lotus position upon a grand double-lotus pedestal, the deity is shown with hands resting in the lap in the dhyana mudra (meditation gesture), cradling a sacred vase (kalasha) containing the nectar of immortality.
The figure is adorned with an elaborate, pierced crown and flowing ribbons, and wears finely detailed robes with incised floral patterns draping elegantly over the base. Finished in a rich, warm gold gilt over a copper body, the statue has a beautiful, luminous patina.
The sculptural folds of the garments and the calming expression make this a powerful focal point for a meditation space or a distinguished collection of Himalayan art.
