Alkuperä - Provenienssi

From the collection of Mr Karl Alfred Gustawsson (1897-1997), chief antiquarian at the Swedish National Antiquities Authority, who received it as a gift originally from the Swedish Archeologist and Explorer Folke Bergman (1902-1946), amanuensis at the Museum of Far Eastern Antiquties, thence by descent. Folke Bergman aquired it when he participated in the Sven Hedin Expedition. Mr Gustawsson was asked to join Sven Hedin's Sino-Swedish Expedition in 1927.

Muut tiedot

Amitayus, the Buddha of Infinite Life, is considered an apparitional form of the Buddha Amitabha; both are typically depicted with red skin in paintings and textiles, denoting their shared identity. In Tibetan shrines, a figure of Amitayus is often set alongside the figures of Ushnishavijaya and White Tara in a longevity triad. Amitabha and Amitayus are celebrated in both Mahayana and Vajrayana practices, and both were popular deities to worship during the Qing dynasty. Figures of Amitayus were produced in large quantities to commemorate imperial birthdays.
