唐 石雕阿彌陀佛像|Buddha
Unknown
dated 707 · Marble · Asian Art
The plumpness of this Buddha’s face and body, together with the draped robes and waisted pedestal, are typical of Chinese sculpture from the late seventh to early eighth century. The inscription on the base identifies the figure as Amitabha, a celestial Buddha who presides over the Western Paradise, but some scholars have suggested that the inscription may have been added later.
