About Early Painting of Amitabha Buddha Tibet 12th Century
This painting of Amitabha belongs to a set of five paintings depicting the Tathagatas Amitabha, Ratnasambhava, Vairocana, Amoghasiddhi, and Akshobhya each in an individual painting accompanied by deities associated with their respective directions and surrounded by a field of miniature Buddhas replicating the main subject's mudra. Amitabha is flanked by the bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara to his proper right with white skin and holding a white lotus flower, and Maitreya to his left, yellow in color and holding the stem of a flower blossom supporting his water pot (kundika) attribute. As does the painting of Akshobhya , stylistically the work draws upon multiple sources to convey the interactions between Pala India, Newar Nepal, and Tibet during a period of efflorescence in Buddhist art.
