Welcoming Descent of Amida with Twenty-five Bodhisattvas

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a large central figure surrounded by numerous smaller figures. The central figure, Amida, is a large Buddha wearing a long robe. He has short black hair and a halo behind his head. He stands on a lotus flower. He is surrounded by twenty-five smaller figures, all dressed in robes and many wearing crowns. They are arranged in two groups on either side of the central figure, with some standing and others kneeling. Some of these figures hold objects such as incense burners or fans. The background of the image is dark, with a lighter-colored halo behind Amida's head. The overall color palette is muted, with shades of brown, beige, and black dominating the scene. The artwork is framed by a thin gold border.
