About the Item

A sublime mid-18th century Japanese Buddhist figure, this remarkable sculpture embodies over two and a half centuries of devotion, artistry, and graceful aging. The figure, beautifully preserved, radiates serenity and spiritual presence, its surface enriched by a superb natural patina developed over more than 250 years. The craftsmanship is refined yet expressive, capturing the quiet dignity and meditative stillness characteristic of Edo-period Buddhist art. The accompanying bench or low table—measuring 15.5 inches in length and weighing 2 pounds—adds to its authenticity and display value, though it shows an old, well-executed repair consistent with its age. Together, the statue and bench form a harmonious and evocative ensemble, ideal for collectors of fine Japanese religious sculpture. (14"H x 12"W x 8.5"D) – 3.9 lbs.
