A bronze figure of Amittayus Buddha, Qing dynasty, late Qianlong/around 1800.

The figure clad in a dhoti with high crown, seated on a cloth in dhyanasana, his hands in dhyana mudra, in front of a flame mandorla, on a raised platform Height 21 cm. The jar that it normally has as attribute in its hands is missing,

Wear.

Provenance

From the Collection of Dagny Forsell, thence by descent.

Exhibitions

Many similar statues of Amitayus were made especially during the Qing dynasty, since it was believed that the merit gained by commissioning multiple images would increase the life of both the donor and to the person they were given.

Literature

Other examples of the image are known with inscriptions dated to the xinsi (1761) and gengzi (1780) years. For a practically identical image of the deity with inscription to 1770 that retains the vase attribute lacking in this lot, see lot 3166, sold in San Francisco sale 21008, 9 October 2013.
