Description

This magnificent 12-inch Amitabha Buddha statue represents the pinnacle of Newari metalcraft from Nepal's Kathmandu Valley. Cast in solid copper using ancient lost-wax techniques and adorned with lavish 24K gold gilding, every detail radiates sacred artistry - from the delicate Newari floral patterns on the robes to the perfectly balanced proportions of the Buddha's serene face. The double lotus base, featuring intricate repoussé work, elevates Amitabha in meditation posture, his hands in the Dhyana mudra that symbolizes the ocean of calm wisdom.

More than an art piece, this is a conduit to the Pure Land. The hollow body awaits traditional consecration, where mantras or relics can be inserted to awaken its spiritual presence. The antique gold finish gives depth to each fold of the monastic robes, making the light play differently throughout the day - just as Amitabha's infinite light adapts to all beings' needs. Whether placed as the centerpiece of your meditation space or as a devotional focal point for nianfo practice, this statue embodies the promise of the Western Paradise: that even amidst life's turbulence, there exists this profound stillness, this boundless light that welcomes all who turn their minds toward it.
