Amitabha Buddha
CHINA; Northern Wei dynasty (386–534), dated 485; Commissioned by Li Boxi; Gilt bronze; H: 24 cm; National Palace Museum, Taipei, Taiwan |
| The Buddha stands on an inverted lotus pedestal that rests on a four-legged stand. The monastic robe covers both shoulders. The right hand is raised in abhaya (fearlessness) mudra, while the left hand appears to hold the robe in place. A radiating nimbus frames the head and is enclosed by a petal shaped mandorla with a flame patterned outer rim. An inscription on the stand states the statue was commissioned in 485 by Li Boxi for the well being of his family. |
