Description
Ming Dynasty Chinese gilt bronze seated Amitabha Buddha, cast in youthful in appearance, sits in the posture of formal meditation. The eyes gaze forward slightly closed and a dark-russet bronze patina on the forehead (urna) nestled between two long narrow eyebrows. Three horizontal lines adorn the neck - marks of beauty. The dark hair is piled on the top of the head with some falling loose across the shoulders. The two hands meet in the lap and join with palms upward right over left to form the Dhyanasana mudra (gesture) of meditation. Richly adorned in relief with Sambhogakaya vestments, the head is decorated with a crown of many jewels topped with an upright half vajra. Ribbons hang from the sides and flowers adorn the tips of the ears. Large gold earrings studded with jewels hang from the distended lobes. The neck and youthful breast are covered with various necklaces and chokers. The arms, wrists and ankles display bracelets and bangles of various design. Wearing a lower garment of a thin skirt comprising variously patterned silks, he sits in full vajra posture with the legs folded, right foot over left, atop a lotus blossom thrones.
The underside with incised quatrefoil flori-form petal visvavajra mark surrounding the centralized DaiJi.
Dimension: 13" H
