The panel features a central meditating Buddha figure, symbolizing peace and spiritual depth. This figure is accompanied by an assembly of Buddhist deities and attendants, each elegantly carved with attention to fine details. The characters are depicted engaging in divine music-making and offering rituals within a celestial cloud motif. The technique of “Sukashibori” is employed here, a traditional Japanese openwork carving that produces a dynamic interplay of light and shadow, enhancing the overall three-dimensional visual effect. While this piece is steeped in cultural significance, it bears the marks of time, with evidence of age-related stains, dust, and some chips. Potential buyers are encouraged to examine the accompanying photographs to assess the condition of this authentic piece of Japanese heritage. As a functional architectural element and a work of art, this transom panel embodies the spiritual and artistic values of its era. Dimensions: approx.
