Japan Museum, Japanese Maria Kannon Statue | Edo Period Replica of Buddhist Deity Kannon, Goddess of Mercy Hand-Made Clay Pottery | Large 4.3"/11cm High

I really love the history of this museum piece. This small statue represents a time in history that is a very turbulent time. The statue is small and does not take up much space yet there is a lot of detail. This statue really is a conversation starter and I love telling the story and history of it. This is a wonderful addition to my home.

For history enthusiasts, Marians, Christo-Buddhists, and anyone who appreciates a historically significant sacred image, I can recommend this little statue. It's made of a sturdy ceramic with a bronze-mimicking glaze, and the jewelry around Her neck has a glossier gold-like glaze (or like bronze that has been polished to a shine by the touch of many hands). Her face is very serene and maternal, and her little pedestal is made of well-sanded and polished light coloured wood. She'd make a great figure on an altar or shrine, or in any similar decorative or votive setting. Truly beautiful.

This is a very interesting little piece. It's very small and can fit in the palm of your hand. Despite its small size, it is very well detailed and well made. The material feels good and it's rested on a light but solid wood plinth. It's a very good item for someone interested in Japanese history and makes for a very good story should someone see it on your shelf.

I like the small size of this statue. I am able to display it on my desk without taking up too much space. It comes with an interesting information insert (in Japanese.) I really appreciate the hand crafted care they took into making this statue.

This is a pretty decor item and has a good solid weight to it. It will make a great gift for my sister in law.

It’s great to have when doing a spiritual… love
