Description

AN INLAID GILT-BRONZE FIGURE OF AMITAYUS, TIBET, 19TH TO EARLY 20TH CENTURY

Finely cast seated in dhyanasana on a double-lotus base with beaded edges, the hands lowered in dhyanamudra and supporting a vessel above his lap. Richly adorned in coral and turquoise-inlaid jewelry, the deity is dressed in a dhoti gathering at the base. The face with a serene expression, downcast eyes, and lips forming a gentle smile, framed by a pair of pendulous earlobes, the hair neatly arranged in a tall chignon terminating in a finial enclosing a stupa, backed by an elaborate tiara. The copper sealing plate neatly engraved with a crossed-vajra symbol.

Provenance: From a European private collection.
Condition: Very good condition with minor wear, casting irregularities, minute nicks, light dents, small surface scratches, rubbing to gilt, few losses to inlays with some possibly being later replacements. Original sealing!

Weight: 1,583 g
Dimensions: Height 19.3 cm

Amitayus, a form of the Buddha Amitabha in Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism, is associated with longevity, wisdom, and immortality. He is typically depicted wearing an ornate crown and holding a vase of Amrita, the nectar of immortality. In Tibetan and Nepalese Buddhist art, Amitayus plays a central role in longevity rituals, revered for overcoming karmic obstacles. His image is widely represented in sculptures and temple decorations, symbolizing enlightenment and the aspiration for a long, spiritually fulfilled life.
