Chinese Amoghasiddhi Buddha, 1403 - 1424 CE

Sandalwood, lacquer, and gold Chinese Amoghasiddhi Buddha, 1403 - 1424 CE, now in the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art. From the sculpture's description on artsmia.org: *'Amoghasiddhi is one of a group of five buddhas that embody five distinct types of wisdom and are thus sometimes called the "Five Wisdom Buddhas." Of the five, who are believed to occupy the four cardinal directions and an immovable central direction, Amoghasiddhi occupies the northern position. He is an embodiment of the "Wisdom of Unrestricted Activity," which enables one to save living beings on the path toward salvation using individualized means. Amoghasiddhi's emblem, the double thunderbolt (vishvavajra), decorates the bottom of this sculpture... X-ray analysis has revealed what appear to be a roll of paper, a small bead or pearl, and a glass vial within a compartment inside this small statue.'* More information about the sculpture here: https://collections.artsmia.org/art/31240/amoghasiddhi-buddha-china Source: Objaverse 1.0 / Sketchfab中国檀香木髹漆贴金不空成就佛（Amoghasiddhi Buddha），制作于公元1403至1424年，现收藏于明尼阿波利斯艺术博物馆。 据artsmia.org网站上该造像的官方描述： * 不空成就佛为五智佛（Five Wisdom Buddhas）之一，此五位佛陀分别表征五种殊胜智慧，故又被称为“五智佛”。五大智佛被认为分别镇守四方与中央不动位，其中不空成就佛居于北方之位。其为“成所作智（Wisdom of Unrestricted Activity）”的具象化体现，能令修行者以随顺众生根性的方便法门，济度一切有情迈向解脱之道。不空成就佛的标识为双金刚杵（vishvavajra），该纹饰装饰于此造像的底部……X光扫描分析显示，这尊小型造像内部的暗格中藏有一卷纸张、一枚小型珠饰或珍珠，以及一支玻璃小瓶。 该造像更多详细信息可查阅：https://collections.artsmia.org/art/31240/amoghasiddhi-buddha-china 数据来源：Objaverse 1.0 / Sketchfab
