Kannon Bosatsu, Japan, c. 18th century H. 63 cm. Lacquered and gilded wood
The Bodhisattva of Compassion stands on a throne topped by a lotus. He wears a princely robe with multiple folds, makes the gesture of fearlessness with his right hand and holds two lotuses with his left. His face is serene, his eyes half closed, his lips joined, his earlobes elongated, his urna inlaid with glass, his necklace and tiara made of cut, openwork and gilded copper.
