The hands are in dhyāna mudrā, resting in the lap and supporting an alms bowl. The serene face features downcast eyes, gently arched brows, and a domed ushnīsha with spiral curls. A small swastika (卍) is inlaid on the chest. The robe falls in naturalistic, cascading folds over the legs. Traces of original gilding remain, worn to a warm patina. Age cracks are consistent with natural wood movement. Iconography: Āmítuófó (阿彌陀佛) is the Buddha of Infinite Light, central to Pure Land Buddhism, presiding over the Western Paradise (Sukhāvatī) and invoked for rebirth through faith and devotion. The dhyāna mudrā signifies meditation, while the alms bowl reflects renunciation and monastic discipline.
