A huge travelers and children’s stone guardian, 23 inches tall
Good garden and collector choice
A subtle expression describes this fine early Japanese Buddhist stone traveler’s and children’s guardian sculpture, Jizo Bosatsu. He stands 23 inches tall and invokes the “mudra of wish granting” via clutching a hoju sacred gem in his left hand and a sacred staff in his right. His frontal section/robe possesses lichen from his former garden location.
His lotus base symbolizes “purity and enlightenment” depicting the revered lotus flower which Japanese appreciate for its ability to rise from murky waters to bloom into a beautiful pure flower symbolizing the highest spiritual goal: attaining enlightenment.
Sculpted from a gray-hued sedimentary stone.
Jizo Bosatsu is one of the most beloved of all Japanese divinities. Jizo in addition to being a protector of children and travelers pleasures in his mudra of compassion -easing suffering and answering prayers of the living for health and success and all manner of mankinds mundane petitions.
This Jizo is a rare large over sized and attractive centuries old garden sculpture with original smooth surfaces- all handsomely weathered from garden lichen and appropriate age.
A good indoor or outdoor garden sculptural choice with a sublime genuine spiritual aura.
A special one.
Substantial tall dimensions: 23 inches tall and 11 inches wide
