Nepal/Tibet
18. Jahrhundert
HÖHE 18,7 CM
Amitayus ist eine Sonderform des großen Buddha Amitabha, der über die westlichen Sphären herrscht. Die Bronze zeigt ihn auf einem Lotusthron in Vajrasana sitzend, die beiden Hände zusammengelegt und über dem Schoß gehalten, auf ihnen die für ihn bezeichnende Vase mit dem Amrta-Lebenselixier bzw. dem Nektar der Unsterblichkeit. Amitayus trägt die große fünfzackige Krone eines Transzendenten Buddha, hinter ihr ein hoher Chignon mit flammender Perle als Abschluss. Typisch für Amitayus ist auch der reiche Schmuck an Ohren, über der Brust und an den Armen. Diese Details sind schön und genau ausgeführt, so wie auch die Fältelung im Gewand oder die Lotusblattreihen. Das Gesicht mit dem ernsthaften Ausdruck und die Krone sind vergoldet. Komplette Erhaltenheit, Alterspatina. Es kommt selten vor, dass auch das Nektargefäß erhalten ist!
