Material: Gilded Copper

Dimensions: Approximately 40cm tall

This Amitābha Buddha statue is meticulously hand-cast in red copper with selective gilding, crafted by Nepali artisans following Tibetan Buddhist traditions. It dates from approximately 200 to 350 years ago. The Buddha’s serene and compassionate expression, harmoniously proportioned features, and dignified iconography reflect exceptional artistry and profound religious devotion.

The figure is draped in a flowing monastic robe, with finely detailed straps and naturalistic folds that convey a strong sense of three-dimensionality and movement. The warm, delicate texture of the red copper, along with areas of gilding worn by time and characteristic verdigris, highlights the statue’s age and adds a quietly majestic charm.

The base is reinforced with a metal plate, hammered and riveted—a precise modification made by a later foreign collector. Originally, the statue would have formed part of a complete ensemble, including a lotus pedestal, stūpa-shaped base, halo, and ceremonial umbrella atop the head, symbolizing Amitābha Buddha’s boundless light and compassionate guidance toward the Western Pure Land.

Nepali red-copper Buddha statues have long been treasured in Tibetan Buddhism for their solid, warm-toned material and exquisite craftsmanship. This finely made Amitābha Buddha is a rare and enduring devotional figure of significant artistic and spiritual value.
