Item Details
Description
A LARGE AND COMPLETE GILT-LACQUERED WOOD STATUE OF KANNON BOSATSU
Japan, Edo period (1615-1868)

The Goddess of Mercy seated in padmasana on a double lotus base supported by a hexagonal throne, a cloudy kohai (nimbus) towering above her with a miniature Amida (the characteristic attribute of Kannon, which is usually found on her crown) at the top. The right hand is raised in the semui-in (abhaya mudra, gesture of reassurance) and the other hand holds a lotus bud. Her expression radiates with compassion and wisdom. A particularly impressive detail is the gilt-metal tiara with its hanging ornaments which are almost always lost and therefore very rare.

HEIGHT 81 cm (total), HEIGHT 34 cm (the figure)

Condition: Wear, abrasions to the gilt, traces of weathering, losses, structural cracks, overall good condition commensurate with age.
Provenance: Czech private collection.
