There are many different Buddhas represented in Buddhist art. Amitabha is the most common behind images of the historical Buddha Shakyamuni. His popularity stems from the proliferation of Mahayana sutras of which many are devoted to him. Compare with a gilt copper-alloy figure of Amitabha, Central Tibet, circa 1430-1440, which was sold at Bonhams Hong Kong, 2 October 2018, lot 44.
