EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century print showcases the enigmatic figure of Basu Sennin, an elderly male deity believed to represent Avalokiteshvara or Guan Yin, the bodhisattva of compassion in Buddhism. The deity is depicted in full length, standing with a hunched posture and adorned in intricately carved and lacquered clothing. The wooden figurine, with its green and brown lacquer finish, exudes an aura of immortality and wisdom. Basu Sennin is dressed in the traditional attire of the 19th century, with a long robe draped over his shoulders and intricately designed accessories adorning his body. The deity's right hand is in the gesture of giving, while his left hand holds a lotus flower, symbolizing purity and enlightenment. The deity's face is serene and peaceful, with a gentle smile playing on his lips. This hand-carved and lacquered wooden statuette is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Asia during the 19th century. The intricate details of the clothing, accessories, and facial features are a reflection of the skill and craftsmanship of the artist. The close-up view of the deity's face reveals the fine lines and textures of the wood, which have been expertly preserved over the centuries. This image of Basu Sennin is a rare and valuable addition to any collection of Asian art or religious artifacts. It is a reminder of the enduring influence of Buddhism on Asian culture and the importance of preserving heritage art for future generations.
