Antique Japanese Buddhist Image, Amidha

A large 19th century image of Amiddha standing in a welcoming gesture on a tall base, the serene countenance gazing through lidded eyes nonplussed at the world of man. The entire image is gilded in gold excepting the back which is lacquered black and the lotus petals which are green pigment. With base the image is roughly 2 feet (60 cm) in total height, the image itself just under 1 foot (29 cm) in height. Parts of the images intricate Hoya and base are missing. Not surprising in a country so prone to earth quake.
