Japanese Wooden Jizo

This 19th century folk art sculpture of Jizo Bosatsu, a widely worshipped deity of popular Buddhism in Japan, formerly stood in a small roadside shrine as a guardian to deceased children. The primitive carving from a solid piece of keyaki wood conveys the gentle and compassionate spirit of this deity. Good condition with a wonderful patina. Height: 15”
