Also known as a gorinto or five­ tiered Stupa sculpture it is sculpted in one piece from a gray ­brown igneous stone. A very early work of art , this dates 300-350 years ago to the late Momoyama period to early Edo period ,17th century. This is an architectural gem for display indoors or outdoors in your favorite place.

Diminutive size makes it a good choice for an interior display.

It measures a diminutive 10.5 inches tall and 3 inches wide- an uncommonly small size.

Gorinto Stupa is a uniquely Japanese invention depicting five geometric forms, which correspond (from bottom) to top: earth, water, fire, wind, and ethereal space. The Japanese Shingon sect of esoteric Buddhism views the Gorinto as a symbol of Dai­Nichi Buddha, who, underlying all things, manifests himself in the five elements making up the universe.
