拍品描述
A GILT BRONZE FIGURE OF AMIDA NYORAI

Japan, late Edo period (1615-1868) to early Meiji period (1868-1912)

Finely cast in multiple sections, Amida seated on a lotus dais supported by an elaborate, multi-tiered pedestal and flanked by an openwork vine kohai (nimbus) with gilt lotus blossoms. Amida is seated in dhyanasana, hands resting in mida no jouin (dhyana mudra), wearing monastic robes falling elegantly in voluminous folds and open at the chest. His face bearing a serene expression with heavy-lidded eyes, butterfly lips, a central byakugo (urna) flanked by long pendulous lobes, his hair arranged in tight curls over the domed ushnisha.

HEIGHT 26.6 cm
WEIGHT 2,604 g

Condition: Very good condition with minor wear, minor casting irregularities, small nicks, and light scratches, and drilled to the base for mounting. The bronze is covered in a rich, naturally grown dark patina with some malachite encrustations.

The sculpture represents Amitabha, known in Japanese as Amida Nyorai, or the Buddha of Limitless Light. Amitabha reigns over the Western Pure Land, a paradise to which anyone is welcomed if they faithfully and sincerely incant his name. This place of salvation became central to the Jodo [lit. Pure Land] sect of Buddhism. Propounded in 1175 by the monk Honen, the accessibility of such tenets of redemption allowed this form of Buddhism to proliferate across the nation and feudal classes of Japan. Often depicted with an elaborate mandala, the boat-shaped halo is said to remind his followers that he serves as a guide for them to cross the ocean of suffering which contaminates the living.
