Item Details
Description
A GILT-WOOD FIGURE OF KANNON
Edo period (1615-1868), 18th/19th century
The standing figure leaning slightly forward, dressed in wind-swept robes indicating movement, the hands held palm upwards holding a lotus platform (now lost), the headdress, necklace, and arm bands of cut gilt copper enhanced with colored glass and semi-precious stones, set on a later black-lacquered base
13 7/8in (24.1cm) high, figure only; 17 3/4in (45.1cm) high overall
Footnotes:
The forward-leaning stance and moving drapery suggest this figure was part of an Amida Raigo Triad (Welcoming Descent of Amida Buddha), in which Amida is accompanied by his two main attendants, Kannon and Seishi, as they descend from the Pure Land Paradise to earth to receive recently departed believers.
