Buddha Amitabha seated in dhyana mudra, the meditative posture symbolizing profound concentration. He is portrayed with serene facial features, elongated earlobes, and a topknot (ushnisha) surmounted by a small finial.
The Buddha is seated on a double-lotus pedestal, a common base design in Himalayan Buddhist art, representing spiritual purity.
Encircling the figure is a flame-like aureole with detailed incised patterns, signifying the radiating spiritual energy and enlightenment of Amitabha. The back of the halo displays floral and flame motifs.
Nepalese metalwork during the late Licchavi and early Malla periods.
