【Important notes】 ・International Buyers: Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer’s responsibility. ・Please check with your country’s customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.

Kannon Bosatsu, known for profound compassion, is depicted here in its transformative avatar, embodying the sacred Eleven Faces, each symbolizing different aspects of Buddhist virtue. This statue encapsulates a remarkable expression of divinity, with each face ranging from ultimate enlightenment to benevolent grace, wrathful intervention, and serene tranquility, reflecting the many facets of Kannon's mercy. A revered figure throughout Japan, with temples across the nation dedicated to its veneration, the Eleven-Faced Kannon promises myriad blessings - from the fulfillment of worldly desires to the promise of rebirth in Amida Buddha's Pure Land. While time has bestowed upon this statue a patina of devotion and the gentle touch of decay, its spiritual aura remains undiminished. The statue's halo is immovable, with signs of age-related wear, including a base that shows signs of instability. The lacquer exhibits areas of flaking, and there are losses of gold leaf and cracks. A smaller Buddha figure atop the statue shows partial loss, and decorative elements on the head and neck appear fragile. Please review the photos for a detailed understanding of the condition. This sacred artifact will be meticulously packaged with the utmost care, but please acknowledge the inherent vulnerabilities due to its age and structure. Dimensions: approx.
