French Cast Iron Figural Flatback Rust Patina Garden Panel

Located in Philadelphia, PA

A cast iron flatback panel originally from a balcony rail in France. Dating to the mid-late 19th century, these decorative objects were used as building or garden elements. Heavy, weighing about 25 pounds, and aged with a beautiful patina, the panel shows a robed figure within an ornate scrolled frame. Imagine it as a piece of outdoor sculpture, used as a fireback, turned into a table base, or framed in a garden gate. Measures: 26.5 inches H x 15.5 inches W x 1.25 inches deep. In very good antique condition with the desired rusted patina.

Old Japanese Wooden Buddha Statue /Edo Period/ Wooden Figurine /Yakushi Nyorai

Located in Sammu-shi, Chiba

This is a wooden carved Buddha made in the late Edo period (1800s). This Buddha statue is Yakushi Nyorai. The Tathagata is the highest enlightened being in the Buddhist world. The Yakushi Nyorai is said to be the Buddha of medicine, and holds a pot of medicine in his left hand. This Buddha statue also holds a pot of medicine in his left hand. Also, his right hand is missing, and his right palm is normally facing the opponent. This Buddha statue is made of one piece of wood and is made of cedar wood and cypress. It is a simple carving, and it is thought that it was probably carved not by a Buddhist sculptor, but by a monk at a temple or a villager who could carve Buddha statues...
