Therefore, many gilt bronze Buddhas were made, with arrangements such as: 1. A large head wearing a three-faced treasure crown and a stocky body. 2. A high nose and a childlike face with a smile on the mouth. Many small gilt bronze Buddhas, with a height of 50cm or less, are seen during this time. The background for the prevalence of these small gilt bronze Buddhas is thought to be related to the imperial decree issued in the 14th year of Temmu (685), which ordered each household to build a Buddhist hall and enshrine Buddhist statues and scriptures. Although it says "each household," it is believed to refer to the households of officials of the provincial governor class, and in response to this decree, many small statues suitable for enshrining in homes were created. 【Other】 ◎We do not accept returns due to the buyer's circumstances, such as "different from the image," "doesn't fit," or "unnecessary," so please bid carefully.
