The buddha is … more A Japanese carved wood Amitabha (Amida) Buddha statue with gold leafed surface circa 19th century (Edo-Meiji period). The buddha is seated in the padmasana position on an elevated double lotus throne, under a small lotus halo canopy. His right hand is held in abhaya mudra which means fearlessness in Sanskrit. The mudra symbolizes protection, peace, and fearless. His left hand gently resting on his thigh. Dressed in a flowing robe with open chest, the statue showcases a classic iconography found prominently in Japanese Buddhism art during Edo to Meiji period, characterized by the double lotus throne and a particularly serene meditative facial expression, highlighted by inset gemstones. The surface with gold leaf was partially rubbed off, displaying a lovely patina. Two round crystals decorate the wisdom eye on his forehead and the ushnisha above his head. Constructed in typical four sections, the statue can be easily dissembled for transportation. The lotus petals were individually carved and attached to the core, par traditional construction of the period. It appears there is a sealed item (maybe a prayer) inside the buddha as it makes a rattling sound when moved. less
