@yuanxd It's actually a bronze/gold statue from Japan. I guess Amida Buddha (Amitābha) is what we call 阿弥陀佛. the primary buddha in many temples we see in China.
Bodhisattva, 12th century, Japan. Wood with lacquer and gilding. 69.136.
In this drawing, you have made him turn his head a bit toward the visitor; in the museum, he sits with his head straight, in a more static way
