A magnificent gilded giant statue of Amitabha Buddha, carved from a single block of solid wood. Seated dhyana asana on a high lotus throne, the Buddha's full and round face, hallmark of Tang Dynasty style, is adorned with downcast eyes beneath arched brows and elongated earlobes. Hair gathered in a chignon is crowned with an elaborate tiara, framing a serene countenance. An urna between his brows symbolizes the ability to perceive and eliminate evil. A flowing robe drapes gracefully over his body, revealing a large necklace. the Buddha's right hand in meditative dhyana mudra, while the left is in the shunya mudra, signifying patience and discipline. His gentle smile, a beacon of wisdom and compassion, emanates an aura of peace and reassurance.
Conceived and executed by a master craftsman, this extraordinary sculpture is a testament to both devotion and artistic mastery. Every detail, from the intricate carving, gilding to the depiction of expression, reflects the artist's deep understanding and reverence for the Buddha.
