Relief-sculpted sandstone Nyoirin Kannon Bosatsu depicted in this bodhisattva's characteristic seated pose of royal ease. Mid- to late-Edo Period ca. 1775. Minor old loss, most notably to the tip of the nose, and overall softening of the lines and contours. Good lichen accumulation. Height: 46.5 cm One of Kannon Bosatsu's 33 manifestations, Nyoirin Kannon is the only deity in the Buddhist pantheon depicted in the seated pose of royal ease, a point of distinction supporting this bodhisattva's popularity among collectors. Elegantly sculpted in relief from a brick-hued sandstone now patinated grayly with age, a notably atmospheric example of this most alluring of Buddhist deities. |
