Chinese Ming Dynasty Carved, Painted and Giltwood Amitayus Buddha
$7,800
About
A beautiful and serene Chinese Ming dynasty carved wood figure of the Buddha Amitayus, the Buddha of long life, and a form of Amitabha Buddha. He is seated in dhyanassana, dressed in loose fitting robes, and adorned with a five pointed crown and necklace. His robes have been covered in a deep Vermillion lacquer with black lacquer highlights, which have been touched up with red paint over time. Red is the color of Amitabha and Amitayus.
His face has been carved beautifully, with a downcast eyes, a strong nose, and beatific smile. The face is of typical Ming form, well rounded, almost to the point of being chubby. His face and crown are heavily gilt, complementing the red of his robes nicely.
A large cavity in the back of the statue would originally have held consecration materials.
In overall fair condition, with loss and flaking to the lacquer, revealing the gesso, wood, and fabric underneath. The crown most likely a later replacement.
Mounted on a custom metal base.
