About the Item

An exquisite Japanese carved hinoki and gilt lacquered standing figure of Amida Nyorai, Amitabha Buddha, Edo Period, 18th century, Japan. The spectacular fully gold gilt figure of Amida Nyorai is portrayed standing upon an elaborate lotus pedestal with individually carved petals painted in green and blue mineral pigments with gilt highlights. The open lotus is supported by a charming blue painted shishi on an ornate fluted and undulating base. This figure of Amida Nyorai is luminous, covered all over in a rich and bright gold lacquer. Amida Nyorai, Amitabha Buddha, the Buddha of Infinite Light, is dressed in loose fitting robes that drape elegantly around his robust figure, leaving his chest and the top of his belly exposed. He holds his hands in raigo-in, the mudra of welcoming, performed with the thumb touching the index finger. This gesture is used to remind worshipers of Amida Buddha's promise to welcome them into his Western Paradise, or Pure Land when they pass from this realm. It is believed Amida himself descends from the Pure Land to guide the faithful to his paradise. His full, round face is calm and expressive. He looks out from heavily lidded and downcast inset and painted rock crystal eyes. High arched brows, a broad, flat nose and plump lips set in a complete the face. The forehead with a hole that once held a now-missing urna. Narrow, s-shaped ears with long earlobes and blue painted hair arranged in the traditional neat rows of curls over a pronounced ushnisha frame the face. This figure of Amida Nyorai is carved from hinoki (cypress) wood, gessoed, lacquered, and gilt. The gilding worn in some areas, revealing the black lacquer below. Provenance: The estate of T.

Large Chinese Carved and Lacquered Buddha, Qing Dynasty, 19th Century

Located in Austin, TX

A large and magnificent near life-sized Chinese carved and lacquered wood figure of a Buddha, Qing Dynasty, 19th century or earlier, southern China. The figure likely represents one of the Five Tathagatas, also known as Dhyani Buddhas or Wisdom Buddhas. More specifically, either Amitabha or Amoghasiddhi. Amitabha is the Buddha of infinite light, and represents the wisdom of observation and recognition. Amoghasiddhi is the Buddha of accomplishment, and represents the wisdom of perfected practices. The size and scale of the Buddha indicates it was made for temple worship. The large Buddha is portrayed seated in vajrasana, or full lotus position, with the soles of both feet facing up. His elegant hands, with impossibly long and slender fingers, perform shuni mudra, the gesture of bestowing patience. His right arm is bent at the elbow, the right hand raised to heart level. The left arm resting gently in his lap, the left hand at navel level. The Buddha is dressed in voluminous robes that wrap around his shoulders and body, and tied at the waist. The heavy fabric draping and pooling elegantly all around his robust body. His broad chest and right arm exposed. The Buddha's face is both solemn and beatific - his expression seeming to change depending on the angle of view. The most notable feature of his face is the large urna to the center of his forehead, set between a pair of painted, high arching brows over heavily lidded almond shaped eyes. A strong nose is set above a small mouth pursed in an ever so slight smile. Long pendulous earlobes touch his shoulders. The Buddha's hair arranged in the typical fashion, with "spikes" representing tight curls. A prominent ushnisha rises from the crown of his head, covered by more hair, and topped with a rounded protuberance. The Buddha is constructed from several blocks of wood, joined, carved and lacquered a deep red-brown with gold flecks...
