Description from the seller
Antique Japanese Kutani Porcelain Figurine – Bodhisattva Manjushri (Kannon) on Shishi Lion – Meiji Period (c. 1900)
A stunning and rare antique Japanese Kutani porcelain sculpture from the late Meiji period (late 19th / early 20th century). This finely detailed masterpiece depicts the Bodhisattva Monju (Manjushri, the embodiment of divine wisdom, also frequently identified in the Western art trade as the goddess Kannon) seated atop a mythical Shishi (Buddhist temple lion / foo dog).
The figurine stands out due to its rich polychrome enameling over a true porcelain body, featuring vibrant colors, intricate chrysanthemum floral motifs, and detailed gilt and raised moriage accents. The expressive facial features of the lion and the serene countenance of the bodhisattva showcase exceptional Japanese craftsmanship.
