Description
A TIBETAN BRONZE-GILT SEATED AMITAYUS TASHILHUNPO MONASTERY
The present bronze, with its tall chignon fronted by an elaborate headdress and three-petaled necklace, closely follows Nepalese prototypes of Amitayus from the same period, which in turn likely mirrored earlier Licchavi representations. The deity is cast seated in dhyanasana with the hands held in dyana mudra. The rounded face is finely modelled with an urna between the arched eyebrows. The eyes are downcast and lips gently indented to provide a benevolent, smiling, expression. The figure is securing the hair swept up into a topknot with two neat strands falling on each shoulder.
DIMENSIONS: 21x15x30 cm. Weight 5100 grams.
