For your consideration is a Qing Dynasty (1644-1912) statue of Bhaisajyaguru Buddha.

The Buddha's left hand is holding a pagoda, symbolizing the ten thousand Buddhas of the three periods of time. This figure also depicts the Buddha with lapis lazuli colored crown of hair symbolizing the figure's aura of lapis-colored light. The figure carries a red "China" stamp used during the late Qing Dynasty and an impressed 4-character mark reading "Zhu Yongji Zao". Statue measures 8" in height, 5" wide and 3 1/2" in depth.
