Most of the statue of this deity is preserved in vermilion lacquer, with some visible remnants of vermilion gold, creating a mysterious and implicit artistic effect. The technique of Zhu Jin decoration was already used in the imperial court in the early Ming Dynasty, but it was mainly made of wooden carvings. At this time, the copper Buddha was favored by the court to display a magnificent visual effect, and the "gilding" technique was preferred. The golden bronze Buddha statue is painted with vermilion paint and adorned with Anjin, revealing delicate, high-quality, rich and elegant intricate decorative changes, achieving an artistic beauty that ordinary gilding cannot achieve. This early Qing Dynasty Zanabazar style artistic statue adopts the royal Zhu Jin technique commonly used in the Ming Dynasty, which is mysterious, subtle, and beautiful.
