Amitayus Trinity
The Amitayus Trinity by an unknown artist features a central figure seated in a cross-legged position atop a decorative platform. The central figure wears a crown and has hands clasped together in front of them. Two smaller figures, similar in appearance to the central figure, are seated on decorative stands on either side. The central platform is supported by a decorative tree-like structure with curved branches. The base of the structure features wavy lines and two small figures on either side. The entire sculpture is made of a dark metal, likely bronze, with gold accents on the faces and crown of each figure. The background of the image is a gradient gray.
