Amida Buddha

Cleveland Museum of Art

The sculpture depicts Amida Buddha by an unknown artist. The statue shows a seated figure with eyes closed and face serene. The figure sits cross-legged on a pedestal with hands in a prayer-like gesture. It wears a long robe with folds carved into the fabric. The figure sits on a round base adorned with ornate carvings resembling petals or waves. Behind the figure, a large oval halo features two smaller figures on either side holding objects. A small figure sits atop the halo. The entire statue appears to be made of stone or metal with a weathered appearance. The background of the image is a gradient transitioning from black at the top to gray at the bottom.
