This Handmade Copper Statue of Amitayus measures 17.5 inches (44.5 cm) in height, rests upon a 12-inch (30.5 cm) base, and weighs 7.08 kg. The copper body is enriched with radiant 24K gold gilding, carefully applied acrylic painting, and gemstone accents. Turquoise and red stone details bring definition to the crown, ornaments, garments, and lotus pedestal, while the finely worked robe patterns and flowing scarves enrich the figure’s dignified presence. Its substantial scale makes it well suited to a Buddhist altar, long-life shrine, meditation room, or sacred art collection.
This Amitayus statue features the classic peaceful form of the Buddha of Infinite Life. He is seated in vajra posture upon a lotus throne, representing purity, stability, and awakened awareness. Both hands rest in his lap in Dhyana Mudra, the gesture of deep meditation, and hold a kalasha, or long-life vase. The vase contains the nectar of immortality and symbolizes vitality, spiritual renewal, and freedom from the causes of untimely death. His elaborate five-pointed crown, jeweled ornaments, and silk garments identify him as a richly adorned sambhogakaya Buddha, expressing the radiant qualities of enlightened wisdom and compassion.
