Small wooden Buddha statue painted with Japanese lacquer/"Senju Kannon"/Edo

About the Item

This is a small Japanese wooden Buddha statue. The deity is called "Thousand-Armed Kannon." Doctrinally, he is Kannon Bodhisattva with a thousand hands. The thousand hands represent the vastness of Kannon's compassion and power, which seeks to save all sentient beings. When it is represented as a Buddha statue, it has dozens of carved hands. In addition, there are often 11 small faces carved on the head. This Senju Kannon has 16 hands. There are round dots that represent the face. The surface is coated with lacquer, and soot and other substances adhere to it, giving it a dark, dull luster. It's big enough to hold in one hand. There are some small pieces of lacquer that have peeled off, but there are no major defects, and the item is in good condition overall. It is thought that this is a Buddhist statue that was displayed in small shrines or rural homes. This is a Buddhist statue that has listened to the wishes of the common people. Also, such a small and cute Senju Kannon is rare. This is a recommended Buddha statue. Also, I want many people to know the goodness of antiques, so I set the price reasonably. Weight: 118g

  • Carved Wood Gilt-Lacquered Sculpture of Seated Japanese Edo Buddha Amida Nyorai
    Located in Studio City, CA
    A truly beautiful and supremely serene Japanese Amida Nyorai Buddha. A magnificent work. Meticulously hand carved in such fine and amazing detail (see hands and flowing robes). Gilded throughout. Seated with narrowed eyes in deep meditation and hands in Buddhist Abhaya Mudra position offering a blessing of protection, reassurance, peace, and benevolence. This hand position, also known as the "fear not" gesture, was achieved by Buddha immediately following his enlightenment. This work is from the late Edo period, (1603-1868)/ early Meiji period (1868-1912). From a California collection. Would be a fantastic addition to any Japanese or Asian artifacts/buddha collection or eye-catching stand-alone accent work in about any setting. One of the best Japanese Buddha sculptures...
