A LARGE GILT-COPPER REPOUSSé PLAQUE OF AMITABHA, TIBET, 17TH-18TH CENTURYFinely worked in repoussé to depict the crowned Amitabha seated in dhyanasana on a lotus base, dressed in a short dhoti with uniform pleats, his body adorned in beaded jewelry and a floral tiara. The face with a serene expression and downcast eyes flanked by elongated earlobes suspending circular earrings, all within a flaming mandorla framed by two Bodhisattvas to each side below an arch issuing from makaras and surmounted by Garuda. The upper section with two further Bodhisattvas and the lower section with an ornate throne supported by two lions.Provenance: The collection of Dr. John Ross Sr., thence by descent to his son and thence by further direct descent. Dr. John Ross Sr. was an American physician and art collector. He passed down his collection and passion for collecting to his son Dr. John Ross Jr. (1928-2019), a pioneering cardiologist whose research is widely used in diagnosing heart disorders. Dr. Ross was a renowned collector and passionate advocate of Asian and ethnographic art, dedicating over five decades to the field. A committed supporter of non-Western art, he played a central role in the Ethnic Arts Council (EAC) of Los Angeles, serving as Chair from 1988 to 1990 and remaining active on the board until 2007. His influence extended to academic institutions such as UCLA and USC, where he backed various ethnographic art programs. Internationally, he contributed through organizations like the Ethnic Arts Foundation and the Mithila Arts Institute in India, promoting cultural preservation and artistic exchange. Part of the collection was donated to the World Cultures Art Collection of Mesa College, San Diego.
