meticulously and exquisitely executed with details highlighted in couched gold threads, portraying the figure of Amitayus seated in padmasana on a square double-lotus base with the hands held together and supporting a reliquary, further depicted adorned with a five-leaf crown encircling a tiered stupa and clad in celestial garments accentuating with fluttering scarves, all against an aureole detailed with the bajixiang emblems and below an elaborate bejewelled canopy
