Three Figures, One Aureole

Viewing notes

A viewer's written impression — not a buyer review or first-hand record

This golden group of standing figures is built around a central Buddha before a pointed flame aureole. The main figure's tight curls carry a red bead at the topknot, a swastika marks the chest, one hand hangs in a blessing gesture and the other cradles a lotus at the chest. Behind, the flame-edged arch rises dense with scrollwork and coloured stone insets, and a golden lotus throne spreads in layers below. To the left, a seated Buddha in blue-purple robes holds a golden object, a pierced leaf-shaped halo behind. To the right, a child figure in a red garment stands on a red lotus, one finger pointing to heaven, one to earth, a flame halo at the back. Three heights, three colours — gold, blue-purple, red — answering one another. Made to be enshrined as one set at a shrine, or placed as the focus of a room.
