This exceptionally beautiful gilt bronze figure of Buddha Amitabha embodies stylistic sophistication and technical finesse, hallmarks of the Zanabazar sculptural school. Cast as a single form with superbly modeled details and thick, lustrous gilding.The present work depicts Buddha seated in dhyanasana, with his hands in dhyananmudra and holding an alms bowl.

The almond-shaped eyes, long pointed nose and rosebud mouth create a serene contemplative expression which is portrait-like in its refinement.
