Purple gold refers to a precious alloy material smelted by a variety of precious metals such as gold, silver, copper, white iron, white lead, mercury, diamond and so on in a certain proportion. Originally invented by Tibetan craftsmen, the purple gold Buddha statue that the Sixth Panchen Lama paid tribute to the emperor when he came to Beijing to celebrate the emperor’s birthday in 1780 (the forty-fifth year of Qianlong’s reign of the Qing Dynasty) was deeply loved by the Emperor Qianlong, so the Emperor Qianlong ordered the imitation in the palace and improved its formula to form the purple gold with the characteristics of the Qing Dynasty palace, which was specially used to cast the Buddha statue, called the “Zijin Lima” Buddha, which is an extremely valuable variety of Buddha statues
This Jiguang Buddha mother is enshrined in a Tibetan covered pagoda and is cast in purple gold. The Buddha’s mother has eight arms on three sides, and the pig’s head comes out on the left. The left and right main arms hold bows and arrows, the right auxiliary arm holds diamond pestle, diamond hook, needle and thread respectively, and the left auxiliary arm holds lotus and knot mark respectively. There are seven pigs at the waist of Xumizuo in the covered bowl tower. At the lower edge of the tower, there is a person leaning up, holding the sun wheel and the moon wheel with both hands, symbolizing the light shining through the world.
