painting measures 102.8 cm in length and 54.2 cm in breadth.
This painting belongs to the Korean Kory艒 period.
In this painting Amitabha is seen standing upon two
lotus flowers. He rests his two feet on two separate flowers.
The attendant deities have also separate lotus pedestals for
each of their foot. The plan of separate lotus for each foot
is not, however, infrequent in Korean religious art. As an
example we may mention about the Maitreya image of Korea
illustrated in this work (Cf. Pl.XIVFig. 2).
In the painting under discussion, the central figure
Amitabha is standing erect. He exhibits two different postures
in his two hands. In his right hand he shows Varada-mudr膩.
There is a mark of the wheel of Dharma i.e. 'dharmacakra' on
the palm of his right hand. In his left hand he holds one
object which is indistinct in the painting and place this hand
above the naval region. There appears no decoration in his
halo. His dresses are like that of an ascetic and he has no
remarkable hair dresses. His clothes have spotted design which
is also seen in other Korean figures of Amit膩bha.
The figures of his attendants are, however, clad in
princely dresses. They wear clothes in a fashion which is
similar to the style of dress of the noblemen of the royal
court. The folds of the clothes of these two figures are
beautifully painted.
