A Kannon Bosatsu wooden statue from the early Meiji Period (19th century) with rests of its original paint.
It is a unique peace of buddhist art, as it bears on its back a writing with black ink from a Samurai. The charakters mean Saikoku Sanjusansho (The Saigoku Kannon Pilgrimage), made by 'Yasukuni Joza' in the status of Bushi (Samurai) in Bungo area, Oita Prefecture.
There are no similar pieces to find. It is really matchless and singular. Perfect Wabi-Sabi condition as seen.
Size approx. 36cm in height, 15.5cm in width, 8cm in depth (14.2in, 6.1in, 3.15in).
