About the Item

Monumental carved marble Buddhist Shakyamuni Triad sculpture. The Shaka Triad was one of the earliest significant examples of a Buddhist sculpture in Japan. It was crafted from bronze and created during the Asuka period around 623 CE. This beautiful 20th century example is meticulously carved from marble and features a central rear figure of Shaka with lotus flower (also known as Shakyamuni Buddha), flanked by the Bodhisattvas Manjushri (Monju) and Samantabhadra (Fugen), who are shown as charming, childlike figures astride their respective animal vehicles. On the viewer’s right sits Manjushri the Bodhisattva of Wisdom with attenuated scepter. Along the left is Samantabhadra, the Bodhisattva of Benevolence, in a position of royal ease. Each of the spiritual leaders is shown in both a childlike figure and larger modern seated figures with headdress, jewelry and impressive robes. They are shown with their respective animal vehicles (Fu Dog / Fu Lions / Komainu and Elephant). The figures are set on a fluffy cloud with a dragon piercing through the lower left edge. This sculpture is a true masterpiece that will instantly become the focal point of any space. It weighs Approximately 1000lbs. Dimensions: 59" x 18" x 23"h
