A GILT-BRONZE FIGURE OF AMITAYUS QING DYNASTY, 18TH CENTURY

finely cast seated in vajraparyankasana, the hands clasped in front in dhyanasana probably to hold the kalasha (now missing), wearing a pleated robed draped over the left shoulder and falling over the crossed-legs in pleated folds, the broad face with downturned eyes and gentle features displaying a tranquil expression, the long pendulous ears cut with elaborate vertical slots, the hair arranged in rows of small pointed whorls and surmounted by a conical bud-shaped ushnisha

Apart from the usual wear to the gilding on the nose, fingers, toes, knees and other extremities, the overall condition is very good.
