17th century
Finely cast seated in lalitāsana, the right arm resting upon the raised knee and the left hand held at the side, the serene face flanked by long pendulous earlobes, the hair swept into a high chignon behind a foliate crown centered by a diminutive seated figure of Amitabha Buddha, richly attired in long flowing robes, the chest adorned with elaborate beaded necklaces and pendent jewelry, the figure richly lacquer-gilt with traces of red pigment throughout, all above a dark-lacquered rocky outcrop raised on a separately cast double-lotus pedestal with a small mythical beast and a vessel.
