Antique Japanese Wood Statue

Kannon Bosatsu

Seated in Royal Ease

Circa: Edo Era, 19th century and earlier
H 3.2 in.(8cm), W 1.7 in.(4.5cm), D 1.25 in.(3cm)
Condition: worn, o.a. good!
This noble Kannon Bosastu, the bodhisattva of endless compassion, breathes with age and the worship of time. The wood is aged and weathered. The robes are layered with multiple folds and the deity is delicately hooded at the crown. In her right hand she holds a mala that is circled around her right knee. She sits in royal ease one leg bent up and one in half lotus. The statue fits comfortably in the palm of the hand perhaps pointing to its past use as a gracious good luck charm and traveling companion for long journeys. Much of the delight in the piece is in its evident usage and worship. Nevertheless it remains in good condition. (SD)
