拍品描述

A FINE GILT BRONZE FIGURE OF AMITAYUS, TIBET, 17TH-18TH CENTURY Seated in dhyanasana on a shaped base and holding the amrita vase in his lap, wearing a dhoti with the folds elegantly arranged under the ankles, adorned with a sash and ornate jewelry, his serene face with downcast eyes and broad nose surmounted by a tall chignon secured with a tall foliate tiara at the front, with locks of hair escaping over both shoulders. Dimensions: Height 13.3 cm Amitayus, the Buddha of Infinite Life, is the deity associated with the rites that ensure long life. He is especially worshipped by Tibetans, who believe that life can be extended through long lineages, faith, and compassion. It is also believed that one can achieve self-enlightenment and cater to the welfare of others with the help of Amitayus. The style of the present lot is closely related to the earlier Nepalese examples, including the design of the large tiara and beaded jewelry. See a gilt copper-alloy seated figure of Avalokiteshvara, Nepal, 11th century, from the Qing Court Collection, illustrated in The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum: Buddhist Statues of Tibet, Shanghai, 2003, p. 80, no. 77. Literature comparison: Compare a closely related gilt bronze figure of Amitayus, dated 18th century, 13.3 cm tall, in the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, object number 1991.148.74.
