Japan Fine & Elegant Antique Bronze Seated Kannon Maitreya Beautiful face

About the Item

Japan, an elegant and fine bronze seated Kannon Maitreya in pensive pose, Meiji to Taisho period (1890-1915). Superb work of art. Dimensions: 25" high The peaceful and youthful Kannon with attached halo with sublime down cast eyes and his right leg crossed over his left and fingers of right hand gently touching his cheek in a classic pensive pose in quietude and seated atop a cylindrical lotus leaf engraved base all exhibiting an original dark purple-red and black color in combination with remnant lacquered gesso and possible gilding all patinated from age. Provenance: Private collection Kyoto, Japan Maitreya is a bodhisattva who in the Buddhist tradition is to appear on Earth, achieve enlightenment and who will be the successor to the historic Sakymuni Buddha. This combination of posture and pose “pensive pose” is a trans-eastern iconography popular and likely originating from ancient China and Korea, 6th-7th centuries.
