Japan Superb Pair of Gold Giltwood Guan Yin Kanons, Admiration & Prayer, Signed
About
This is a scarce pair of heavenly Japanese temple finds: gold gilt and lacquered wooden crowned Kanons (Guan yin) standing with hands clasped in admiration and prayer mudra which symbolically signify compassion and healing powers.
They are authentically signed front and back in red lacquer with posthumous Buddhist names- a feature rarely found today.
We acquired them from a large Japanese collection this past year from one of our many buying trips.
Our Bodhisattvas were hand-carved and hand gilt and then the head curls were finely painted with gorgeous glazes Finally a fine perforated cut metal jewelry like crown was added-these rarely survive from great age.
Dimensions: 17 inches tall and 5 inches wide
Possibilities: It would look perfect indoors in your special tokonoma (Japanese alcove), shrine, or mediation space.
About Kanon:
A Japanese name for Guanyin, an East Asian bodhisattva and spiritual figure associated with mercy and compassion
Lifetime guarantee of authenticity: All of our Asian works of art come with our lifetime authenticity guarantee.
