About the Item

A truly wonderful and boldly designed Japanese bronze sculpture of a fierce samurai warrior perhaps in a moment of silent reflection. This piece has a great feel and heft. The fine detail in the samurai's face and armor help make this a special work. The deer antler/horns that adorn the helmet symbolize the warrior's bravery and sometimes made it easier for fellow warriors to identify him on the battlefield. This piece is likely from the early to mid Showa Period (1926-1989) but could be as early as the Meiji Period (1868-1912). A somewhat unique and hard-to-find work as we can not find another quite like it. Would be a great addition to a Japanese or Asian art/artifacts collection or make for an eye-catching stand-alone accent piece in about any setting. Dimensions: 12.5" high, 4.5" wide, 4" deep

Carved Gilt Wood Seated Japanese Asian Edo Buddha Amida Nyorai Sculpture Statue
Located in Studio City, CA
A truly beautiful and supremely serene Japanese Amida Nyorai Buddha. A magnificent work. Meticulously hand carved in such fine and amazing detail (see hands and flowing robes). Gilded throughout. Seated with narrowed eyes in deep meditation and hands in Buddhist Abhaya Mudra position offering a blessing of protection, reassurance, peace, and benevolence. This hand position, also known as the "fear not" gesture, was achieved by Buddha immediately following his enlightenment. This work is from the late Edo period, (1603-1868)/ early Meiji period (1868-1912). From a California collection. Would be a fantastic addition to any Japanese or Asian artifacts/buddha collection or eye-catching stand-alone accent work in about any setting. One of the best Japanese Buddha sculptures...
