A GILT-BRONZE FIGURE OF AMITAYUS MING DYNASTY, 14TH CENTURY

seated in dhyanasana on a high double-lotus pedestal base, with hands folded in dhyanamudra, wearing a shawl and dhoti, the loose folds falling over his crossed-legs in undulous folds, with a billowing celestial scarf around his shoulders and arms, richly adorned with elaborate inlaid jewellery, the face with benevolent expression surmounted by an elaborate diadem surrounding a high chignon

There is loss to the gilding particularly to the knees and the lotus base. There is some malachite stain to the back of the lotus base.
