"Large Buddhist Altar Called Butsudan, Japan Edo Period 1603-1867 / Buddha / Zushi / Kannon"
Large and beautiful Japanese prayer altar, called "butsudan", dating from the first half of the 19th century (Edo period 1603-1867).
The butsudan is intended to venerate Buddha and Buddhist deities.
Opening with two doors decorated with gilded and chiseled brass, this butsudan in red lacquered wood reveals the representation of the bodhisattva Jûichimen-Kannon -- divinity of compassion -- standing on a pedestal in front of a richly carved mandorla. She wears a crown symbolizing her omnipresence. Her left hand holds a vase (kebyo) and the right, pointed towards the ground, makes the sign of fulfillment.
Jûichimen-Kannon is one of the six large representations of the deity Kannon.
Very good general state of conservation.
Some wear and tear, small losses and restorations.
This collector's item is sold with its certificate of authenticity and a description of the work.
