I receive the piece earlier than expected in good shape; and prior to purchase, Rajendra was responding quickly and very helpful in providing high resolution picture for my further evaluation. Thank you Rajendra and surely I will be back again.

Enlightened Shakyamuni Buddha: The Eternal Guide Across Time
Contemporary Eri-style painter Chhewang Lama completed this magnificent painting of Tathagata Shakyamuni Buddha. This painting includes typical Eri-style features such as gorgeous pale blue skies, symmetrical compositions, and excellent decorative details such as clouds and flowers. The coloring and shading of the clouds give the distinctive feature of dark holes called “cloud-eyes” in the center, a highlight of the Eri-style painting tradition.
On the top, the Sambhogakaya of the deity of Longevity – Buddha Amitayus, is flanked by the two Buddhas of the Past (Dipankara) and the future (Maitreya). Two beautiful celestial beings float gracefully above the clouds with their long scarves floating. They hold offerings of flowers and fruits in their hands. Buddha Shakyamuni is depicted here seated on a white moon disc upon a peach-colored lotus, supported by an ornately decorated throne carried on the backs of a pair of lions on each of its four sides.
The painting depicts Shakyamuni Buddha with a radiant complexion, seated in a Vajra posture on a lotus throne. He wears traditional red robes intricately adorned with 24-karat gold flower motifs and holds a blue alms bowl decorated with pearl-like garlands. His right-hand rests in the earth-touching gesture, symbolizing enlightenment. At the same time, his serene aura is surrounded by soothing blue and green hues enriched with gold linings, precious stones, floral patterns, and a rainbow motif. The composition includes two white elephants draped in floral brocades, with blue lions standing above them, their flowing manes adding elegance. Above the lions, a mythical Sharabha symbolizes strength, perseverance, and speed. The throne, adornments, and intricate detailing emphasize the painting’s spiritual and artistic depth.
Overall, this painting is rare and can be appreciated by a practitioner and collector alike.
