Stone Jizo Bodhisattva Buddha Kannon Wabi-Sabi Edo
Stone depiction of a standing Jizo Bosatsu, the hands forming the gassho adoration mudra. Early- to mid-Edo Period ca. 1700. Old loss, most notably to the upper-right section of the overarching mandorla. Good lichen accumulation.

Height: 54.1 cm
Width of base: 23.0 cm
Depth of base: 17.4 cm.

A vaguely plaintive Jizo sculpted from andesite, a heavy igneous stone that tends to break away at the edges. For those capable not only of dealing with loss but also of appreciating its aesthetic benefits.
