Japanese Bronze Buddha Statue
Kannon
An-I-In Mudra with Vase
Meiji, circa: early 20th century
H 7 in.(18cm.), W 3.5 in.(9cm.), D 3 in.(7.5cm.)
Condition: Very Good

 

An exceedingly fine casting in which the carving is minutely executed, with a sense of delicacy and refinement that extends to the smallest detail. The face of Kannon is superbly meditative. The right hand is in the An-I-In mudra, a gesture of speaking and teaching, while the left hand holds the water vase inclined, bestowing compassion and rescuing suffering sentient beings from the desert of delusion. Around the face are incised locks of hair surmounted by a crown bearing an image of Amitabha Buddha, of whom she is an emanation. Over this crown is draped the hood of her robes, which fall in perfect arcs and loops to the base of the lotus throne and descend over it with gently falling gathers of fabric thinned at the edges to suggest silkiness and transparency. The artistic treatment continues at the back of the figure, where lotus petals rise with gently curling tips.
