- Lot Description
Central Asia, Tibet, ca. 16th century CE. A cast brass statue of a cross legged Amitabha Buddha seated on a lotus throne in meditation while holding a vessel. The Buddha is adorned with jewelry; bracelets, arms bands, necklaces, earrings, and an intricate headdress and ushnisha that are painted with blue, red, and gold pigments. His gaze is cast serenely downwards at his hands that are forming the dhyana mudra gesture and cradling the symbolic ambrosia vase that holds an elixir of eternal life. The underside of the base has an intact seal, a thin plate held in place by black wax, which indicates that this hollow statue may still contain dedicative items, such as paper scrolls with prayers that were placed inside during a ceremony! The Amitabha was bodhisattva that reached supreme enlightenment through Buddhist teachings and became a Buddha himself. This Amitabha is fabulously detailed and the unbroken seal adds mystery to the contents of this meditative figure. Size: 2.75" W x 4.75" H (7 cm x 12.1 cm)
Provenance: private Hawaii, USA collection; ex- Mary Olmsted collection, USA Ambassador to India and Pakistan
