All three figures of Amitayus were in similar posture, one leg bent sideways on ground, with another leg upright, acting as support for his hand. Their bodies hunched forward slightly, all with serene expressions, flared beards, and wearing rags covering their lower body. One figure is holding a gourd in his hand, while the other two are holding large prayer beads. Artist marks on the bottom, attributing two figures to "FENG WENGUAN" and one figure to "FENG XIJUE". Qing Dynasty period.
