A Porcelain Famille-Rose Amitayus Statue ( Long:12.8cm, Wide:6.4cmHeight:18.6cm )Robert Wacher (1870-1955) was born in England. In 1900, he came to China to do trade business. During his business career, he developed a strong interest in traditional Chinese culture and art, and thus began his antique collection. The figure is modeled seated in dhyanasana upon a separate lotus leaf-form base, dressed in a flowing dhoti and draped in elaborate jewels, the hands held in dhyanamudra supporting a vase. The head is adorned with a foliate crown and inscribed with a character on the back near the bottom, possibly reading lin, and has a long tubular fitting at the base of the neck allowing it to fit into the body.
