Supposed to be ‘an image of a seated Buddha, with beams of light encircling him. Inscribed on the back of the mirror in bronze was the word Amitabha, also known as the “Buddha of Eternal Life” and one of the five cosmic Buddhas of Esoteric Buddhism’ but I can’t see it. I wish they had a better photo of it.

The “rays of light” are symbolic of arms and this deity is usually referred to as the Thousand Armed Amitabha. The arms are reaching out to touch all sentient beings with the compassion of the Buddhas.
