About the Item

This is a wooden Buddha statue made during the Edo period in Japan. It is made in a very small size and fits in the palm of your hand. Basically, it is designed to be carried while traveling. It is like a talisman used to pray for safety. In Japan, this kind of thing is called "Nenji-butsu". ``Nenji'' = to make a wish. "Butsu" = Buddha statue. This Buddha statue is placed in a capsule called ``Zushi''. It is painted with black lacquer and has gold leaf on the inside. On the outside door, the name of the temple is written on the right and the words ``Carved using old wood'' are written on the left. It is thought that it was probably carved using some of the building materials used in the temple. Although it is very old, it is in good condition overall and the Buddha statue itself is also well preserved. However, there was a hole in the right hand that probably had something inserted into it, but that something is missing. The decoration on the back is made of copper plate. The name of the main body is 11-faced Kannon Bodhisattva. It is called the 11-faced Kannon Bodhisattva because 10 small Buddha faces are carved into the crown of its head, and there are 11 faces in total including the face of the main body. If you count this too, there are 11 sides. It has very detailed carving techniques. Items in good condition are difficult to obtain. This is a rare item. Although it is small, it is a Buddha statue with a very strong presence. it's recommended. I also want as many people as possible to know the quality of antiques, so I keep my prices reasonable. Why not brag about it to your friends? Size when door is closed w3.9cm d2.2cm h7.9cm Weight: 14g If you want something special, we encourage you to purchase our selected items.
