Vintage brass Amitayus — Late 20th century (c. 1970–2000)

This characteristic vintage Amitayus Buddha (18.8 cm) is crafted in a refined Chinese-Nepalese export style and made from solid cast brass. Despite its compact size, the sculpture possesses a striking presence thanks to its rich Bodhisattva adornments, the detailed five-leaf crown, and the distinctive two-tone finish. The warm golden base is beautifully accentuated by a hand-applied verdigris patina, giving the sculpture a lively depth and authentic appearance. A truly spiritual object that harmoniously fits within both a meditation environment and a stylish interior.

The Philosophical & Spiritual Meaning: Why this sculpture is essential
