Iconography & Finish
The five-leaf crown, jewellery and central kalasha identify Amitayus, whose imagery is associated with longevity and contemplative practice. The green areas are decorative patination rather than evidence of archaeological age. The object is therefore catalogued plainly as a late-20th-century devotional or decorative casting.
Condition
Good vintage condition with minor handling wear and variation in the applied patina. A useful example for buyers seeking traditional Himalayan iconography without an antique attribution.
