Solid K24 Yellow Gold Amida Buddha Statue — Radiant Halo Figure — High-Weight Collector-Grade Sacred Sculpture

A solid K24 yellow gold Amida Buddha (Amida Nyorai) figure with an elaborate radiant halo, combining sacred iconography with substantial precious-metal weight. Presented in very good condition with minor surface toning consistent with handling and age, and accompanied by a storage box.

Object Overview

This sculptural figure depicts Amida Buddha (Amida Nyorai) and is executed in solid K24 yellow gold, presenting a rare convergence of sacred iconography and precious-metal material authority.

The statue’s defining feature is its radiant halo structure, which frames the figure with disciplined symmetry and gives the piece a strong architectural presence even at compact scale.

Rather than relying on excessive ornamentation, the work emphasizes clean vertical proportion, stable base geometry, and controlled surface finishing that allows the gold to carry the visual weight.

With its notable mass, the object reads as a collector-grade precious-metal sculpture as much as a devotional figure, functioning simultaneously as cultural artifact, display sculpture, and store of tangible value.

Cultural & Symbolic Significance

Amida Buddha is associated with compassion, salvation, and the promise of deliverance through sincere faith and contemplation, making the figure one of the most enduring presences in Japanese Buddhist visual culture.

The halo motif amplifies the sense of luminous authority, signaling enlightened presence and protective clarity rather than dramatic aggression.

Rendered in gold, the symbolism becomes materially reinforced: the sculpture does not merely represent sacred radiance; it embodies it through literal luminosity and enduring material value.

For collectors, this dual character—spiritual icon and precious-metal object—creates a lasting relevance that extends beyond decorative appeal.

Material, Form & Craft Considerations

Executed in K24 yellow gold, the piece emphasizes purity of material, soft warmth of tone, and smooth continuity across planes.

High-purity gold’s relative softness necessitates careful handling and finishing; the controlled edge rounding and consistent surface treatment help preserve integrity while maintaining refined presence.

The halo structure introduces complexity and requires stable joining and balanced distribution of mass; the composition remains coherent and upright, supporting both display and long-term retention.

Overall construction favors longevity and structural clarity over fragile protrusions.

Condition

The piece is graded in very good condition.

Minor surface toning and subtle marks are present, consistent with age and normal contact rather than damage.

No cracks, deformation, or material loss are reported in the provided details.

A storage box is included; unless explicitly stated, inserts and accessories beyond the box are not assumed.

Dimensions & Weight

• Height: approx. 17.5 cm
• Max width (halo span): approx. 9.5 cm
• Depth (including base): approx. 6.5 cm

Collector Context & Resonance

High-purity gold Buddhist figures of this weight occupy a narrow, premium niche where devotional form intersects with precious-metal collecting, and examples with elaborate halo work are typically retained as flagship objects rather than casual decor.

This piece is particularly suited for collectors who value compact, high-density objects with cultural gravity—objects that read as both sacred sculpture and long-term value-preserving precious-metal assets.
