Commonly referred to as the "Medicine Buddha", he is described as a doctor who cures suffering (Pali/Sanskrit: dukkha/duḥkha) using the medicine of his teachings.The image of Bhaiṣajyaguru is usually expressed with a canonical Buddha-like form holding a gallipot and, in some versions, possessing blue skin. Though also considered to be a guardian of the East, in most cases, Akshobhya is given that role. As an exceptional case, the honzon of Mount Kōya's Kongōbu Temple was changed from Akshobhya to Bhaiṣajyaguru.[1] Excellent condition.ERA1900 - 2000COUNTRY OF ORIGINChinaMATERIALBronzeTITLE OF ARTWORKA GILT FIGURE OF Medicine BuddhaSIGNATUREHand signedCONDITIONExcellent conditionHEIGHT11 cmWIDTH7.5 cmDEPTH5 cmWEIGHT618 g
