About the Item

This antique wooden Buddhist figure was crafted in the Edo Period (1603–1868). Although the specific identity of the deity it represents is unknown, the figure has a gentle presence and a quiet, calming aura. Its slightly forward-leaning posture suggests a thoughtful and serene expression. The piece reflects simple, honest craftsmanship. While modest in its design, this figure holds a subtle charm that invites affection and curiosity. Beyond its original religious purpose, it stands beautifully as a decorative object, bringing a peaceful and timeless atmosphere to any space. This piece is recommended for those who appreciate antiques with a warm simplicity and who wish to add a touch of gentle character and history to their interiors. We have carefully inspected the piece and found no significant damage or structural issues. It is in excellent antique condition, with natural signs of age that add to its character.
