Dainichi Nyorai is depicted in the iconic Mudra of Wisdom, with the right hand wrapped over the raised index finger of the left, a symbolic gesture of esoteric knowledge and enlightenment. This figure is traditionally revered for its ability to relieve all beings from suffering, guiding them towards the state of enlightenment, and is particularly auspicious for those born in the years of the Sheep and Monkey according to the East Asian zodiac. The statue is predominantly finished in black lacquer, with front areas further embellished with a mixture of lacquer and gold powder. However, the passing of time has left its mark with some wear on the gold sections and tarnishing of the metal fittings on the crown.
