About the Item
Just Found, Call or message us for details.
For the finest garden- a monumental and spiritual representation of the Buddha expressed in this substantial 13.5 feet seven roof pagoda with four buddha images carved on base.
Japan, a monumental antique stone pagoda tower that is hand carved from solid granite, Taisho period circa 1920, and a spiritual representation of five earthly and celestial elements.
The monumental carved stone Buddhist sculptural seven layered tower fashioned in ten parts with a tall incised ringed finial Hoju representative of five elements known as earth, wind, fire, water, and ethereal space; seven sets of shaped roofs, and four (4) buddhas carved in the square on a rectangular shaped base and hand-carved of a granite stone with considerable patina from appropriate age.
Provenance: Old Japanese garden and private collection
Japan’s stone pagodas were the Japanese Buddhist versions of Chinese pagodas and originally Indian stupas. By the Meiji era, the word to came to mean tower and a pagoda's size was measured in ken, where a ken is the interval between two pillars of a traditional-style building.
This beautifully hand-carved sculpture would make an exceptional visual statement and substantial conversational choice for your special garden location.
Good original patina from good age.
Call or message us to reserve as it is one of a kind.

- China Antique Qing Monumental Buddhist Stone PagodaLocated in South Burlington, VTChina antique monumental Pagoda Shrine with carved Lohans, 115" high, red sandstone, eight sections, Qing dynasty (1644-1911) This stone pagoda is a monumental work of art seldom seen in the west. Pagodas evolved from Indian stupas which were originally designed to hold the Buddha’s relics and textual paper sutras. This tiered tower composition became popular all over Asia and its architectural form differed from region to region. In China, its origins date to Buddhist missionaries who traveled the Silk Road. Early examples were built in temples but by the 13th century they were found outside the temple complex. Oldest examples had simple round or square bases and then later octagonal or more stylistic forms like the “censer” type of base on this pagoda. The 18 Arhats (lohans) portray Buddha’s messengers and each Lohan cylindrical tier is unique. This tour de force could serve as the centerpiece in the finest indoor space, or private or public Chinese or Asian inspired garden or Buddhist art collection. Photographs taken in natural light. Provenance: Private New England Collection acquired in 2005 in China from private collection Cheng Du, Sichuan Province. About Pagodas: Chinese pagoda towers...Category
