Aparimita: Bestower of Long Life
Aparimita, also known as Amitayus, is a popular figure in Buddhist belief, revered for granting long life and health to those who honor him. Traditionally depicted in red color, Aparimita’s serene posture reflects peace and enlightenment. His hands are positioned in Dhyana Mudra, symbolizing meditation and inner calm, while he holds the ambrosia vase—an emblem of longevity. He is adorned with the ornaments of a Sambhogakaya Buddha, which include a crown, Ushnisha, and Urnakosh, highlighting his divine status and wisdom.
Traditional Color Finishing
This Aparimita Statue features traditional color finishing, carefully applied to recreate the Buddha’s authentic shades in alignment with historical and spiritual representations. A harmonious blend of gold and other vibrant hues highlights the intricate details of the statue, offering a visually striking aesthetic. The use of traditional colors is vital in Buddhist iconography, as each shade holds spiritual significance and reflects the essence of the deity.
Lost-Wax System: Time-Honored Craftsmanship
This Aparimita Statue is crafted using the Lost-Wax system, a technique that has been practiced for thousands of years to create detailed metal sculptures. The process involves sculpting a wax model, coating it with a ceramic shell, and then melting the wax to leave a cavity. Molten copper is poured into the cavity to form a precise metal replica of the original wax model. Once the metal has cooled, the ceramic shell is removed, leaving a meticulously crafted statue. This process ensures a high level of detail and durability in every piece.
