A FAMILLE ROSE FIGURE OF AMITAYUS
QIANLONG PERIOD (1736-1795)
The figure is modelled with both hands held together in dhyana mudra and seated in dhyanasana, holding an ambrosia flask. The facial features finely rendered in gilt with eyes slightly downcast to provide a serene expression, the hair picked out in blue enamel, swept into a double-topknot and secured by an ornamental jewel, worn behind the five-leaf diadem fastened with ribbons at the back of the head, dressed in a shawl enamelled to depict floral sprays amidst ruyi clouds against a lime-green ground, revealing the broad torso adorned with a fine network of beaded jewellery chains, the dhoti enamelled with lotus sprays against a turquoise-ground, seated on a separate triangular waisted base, decorated with overlapping lotus petals.
11 3/4 in. (30 cm.) high

Amitayus (Tibetan: Ts'e dpag med) is known as the 'Buddha of Infinite Life' and the 'One who grants long life'. As one of the most popular deities from the Tibetan Buddhist pantheon, its typical iconography is recognised by the seated full-lotus posture, dhyanasana, with hands in meditation supporting a vessel known as a Kalasha which holds the elixir of immortality.
