Amida Nyorai

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Small golden statue of Amida Nyorai by artist unknown, standing on a lotus flower base. The statue depicts a figure with a serene face and short hair, wearing a long robe with folds. The right hand is raised in a gesture and the left hand is down by the side. The base is octagonal and tiered with a dark patina. The statue and base are made of metal, likely bronze or brass, with a gold finish. The background is a plain white surface with a subtle shadow cast by the statue.
