A TWO-TONE GILT BRONZE FIGURE OF AMITAYUS, LATE KANGXI TO EARLY QIANLONG PERIOD

Expert’s note: This superb bronze features gilding in both yellow and rose gold. The rose gold, evident on the face, arms, and abdomen, is characterized by its faint reddish hue and natural flaking, due to the copper content in the alloy. In contrast, the yellow gold, found on the base, legs, and shawl, has a higher gold concentration, making it more resistant to wear and discoloration. Two-tone gilding was reserved for only the finest and most exquisite statues due to the complexity of its execution.

China, first half of the 18th century. Neatly cast, seated in dhyanasana on a double-lotus base with beaded upper edge, his hands lowered in dhyana mudra. He is wearing a billowing shawl and a dhoti finely incised with floral hems and pooling beautifully at the base, and richly adorned in intricate jewelry. The deity is skillfully portrayed with a serene expression framed by an elaborate paneled tiara and a pair of pendulous earlobes adorned with earrings. The hair is arranged in an elaborate high chignon surmounted by a jewel and elegantly falling in long strands over the shoulders.

Provenance: Brussels trade. By repute acquired at a small, local estate sale.
Condition: Very good condition with old wear and minimal casting irregularities, light rubbing to gilt, remnants of pigment to the back of the base, and few small nicks. The base unsealed.

Weight: 300.8 g
Dimensions: Height 10.4 cm

Amitayus, the Buddha of Infinite Life, is the deity associated with the rites that ensure long life. He is especially worshiped by Tibetans, who believe that life can be extended through long lineages, faith, and compassion. It is also believed that one can achieve self-enlightenment and cater to the welfare of others with the help of Amitayus.

Amitayus is also one of the most popular meditational deities in Vajravana Buddhism where he is highly revered for his longevity attributes, pure perception, and awareness of the emptiness of phenomena. According to the Larger Sutra of Immeasurable Life, compiled during the 1st or 2nd century AD, the infinite merits possessed by the deity resulted from the performance of good deeds in his past lives as a bodhisattva named Dharmakara. Having attained enlightenment, the deity resided in the wondrous realm of Sukhavati.
