Seated Stone Jizo - Meiji Pd.
Frowning seated Jizo Bosatsu in prayer, Meiji Era (1868-1912). A prayerful attitude on occasion does not go beyond the clasped hands. Judging from the looks of things, this Jizo is praying not so much for the release from suffering of innocent children as for divine relief from the private torments of obesity. Both seated and fully grimacing, this Jizo is an intriguing departure from the blissed-out Jizo types that one typically encounters. Suitable both for garden and serious collection. Dimensions: Height: 20.0 cm (7.9 in) Width: 16.8 cm (6.6 in) Depth: 8.3 cm (3.3 in) Weight: 3.5 kg (7.7 lb) Condition: Excellent, with minimal loss to the stone and desirable patination resulting from the seemingly organic fusion of several types of moss on the stone surface.
