Description

A Chinese gilt-brass figure of Amitayus, 18th Century, depicting the deity seated in *vajrasana* (lotus position) with hands resting in *dhyana mudra* (meditation gesture). The figure is adorned with an elaborate, multi-tiered crown, intricate jewelry including a necklace, armbands, and earrings, and flowing robes, presented in a style consistent with South Asian or Himalayan Buddhist iconography. It rests upon a rectangular, open-work plinth featuring decorative corner elements. The material appears to be brass or gilded bronze, exhibiting an aged, consistent patina with some brighter highlights suggesting typical surface wear. No visible text, maker’s marks, or inscriptions are apparent.
