Antique Japanese Buddhist Statue Amida Nyorai
A late 19th C. gilded wooden state of Amida Nyorai or Amitabha the Buddha. Standing on a lotus flower and tiered platform with a gilded canopy above him. The statue is finely carved and the gilding has tarnished and received numerous layers of fine soot. There are no breaks to both hands and feet and all digits are present. As per tradition, the canopy and stand were probably replaced but the statue left untouched. Dimensions: 14.5" tall x 5" x 3". There is some insect damage to the top of the canopy while the rest of the piece is just as it was found.
