  • Japanese Gilt Seated Kannon Figure, circa 1850
    Located in Chicago, IL
    Intricately carved and finished with gilt black lacquer, this seated figure depicts the bodhisattva Guanyin, known in Japanese Buddhism as Kannon. Described as the "Buddha of Infinite Compassion," Kannon is the embodiment of mercy and makes himself available to all who call upon him with all their mind.

  • Japanese Wood Carved Polychrome Sculpture of a Seated Temple Monk, Edo Period

Most likely dates back to the Edo period. Would make for a nice addition to any Japanese or Asian artifacts...
