Created during the second half of the 13th century, this wooden masterpiece stands at an impressive height of 116.2 centimeters and is adorned with lacquer and gold leaf embellishments. The Japanese School from the 13th century skillfully crafted this polychrome sculpture, depicting Jizo Bosatsu as a benevolent and merciful bodhisattva. Seated serenely on a lotus pedestal, he exudes an aura of compassion and wisdom. The intricate carving details bring out his serene expression and flowing robes, while his halo symbolizes his divine nature. As a significant figure in Buddhist tradition, Jizo Bosatsu is revered for his role as a protector of souls in the afterlife.
