$650.00 

This small stone figure of a standing Jizo Bosatsu (Buddha)with both hands holding the sacred jewel.

It dates to the Meiji Period: circa 1900.

It is in excellent condition with a softening of the lines and contours and very minor losses.

It's origin would be Sadogashima Island, off the coast of Japan, which is famous for its production of figurative stone Jizo.

It is carved from Sado granite from the island and known as Sado Jizo.

Small examples are uncommon and rarely found in such good condition.

$695.00 

This Japanese Carved Wooden Mask measures 10 inches tall by 7 3/4 inches wide (ear to ear) by 4 inches in depth. It is also about 1 1/2 inches in thickness at center narrowing down to about 3/4 inch thick at edges.

It is carved from a tightly grained wood similar to those found in 19th century Japanese furniture.

It has a nice patina and retains traces of original pale maroon color in some areas.

It is in excellent condition and has wonderful parallel grooves over entire interior: most likely carving marks, but very finely detailed. They do not show up well in photos.
