尼泊爾 約十四世紀 銅錯銀鎏金無量壽佛像
Amitayus, The Buddha of Long-Life, is shown here richly adorned with inset-gem regalia across his broad frame. With a benevolent expression, he gently looks down, directing one's attention to the elixir of life within the elaborate vase held in his lap. His long tresses elegantly curl around his shoulders.
Stylistically, the broad form, rice-grain-patterned hems, and the compressed base are features common to Nepal, and might indicate the bronze was produced for the Khasa Mallas. See a gilt bronze Saravid Vairocana, with almost identical necklace, armbands, and lotus petals, sold at Bonhams, New York, 13 March 2017, lot 3071.
