TIBET, 15TH-16TH CENTURY

Amitayus, the bliss-body of the tathagata Amitabha, is adorned with the standard six bodhisattva ornaments and is seated in dhyanasana atop a double-lotus base. The present figure of Amitayus is executed in a classic Tibetan style associated with the fifteenth or sixteenth century. For another example of this style, see a figure of Shadakshari Lokeshvara, illustrated by U. von Schroeder in Buddhist Sculptures in Tibet, vol. II, Hong Kong, 2001, p. 1067, fig. 273E.
