Amitabha
A gilt bronze figure of a seated Buddha, eyes lowered and hands resting in lap in a meditation gesture, wearing a loosely draped robe over one shoulder. Patches of dark bronze show through the worn gold surface, and the hair is rendered in tight curls.
Look closer: Small triangular openings are pierced in the hands resting in the lap, visible at the center of the seated figure.
