Product Name: Pocket Buddha (Nyorai) Country: Japan Materials: Copper, Wood Size: 16 x 16.5 x 4.3 cm (when the shrine is open) Accessories: None ************************************************ This is a very small Nyorai statue, known as a "Pocket Buddha" or "Bean Buddha," housed in a wooden shrine. Due to its extremely small size, approximately 7 cm, it is difficult to discern the details of the fingers. However, the hand gestures (mudras) of "Abhaya Mudra" (fearlessness) and "Varada Mudra" (wish-granting), or possibly "Welcome Mudra," suggest that it is a statue of either Shakyamuni Buddha or Amitabha Buddha. The hat-like shape on the head may be a halo. The slightly asymmetrical balance gives it a unique and unusual impression. The gold background that appears when the doors of the shrine are opened is beautiful, and the figure of the Buddha, standing enveloped in light, is solemn and sublime. If you quietly put your hands together, you may feel your heart cleansed. The Buddhist statue and shrine show signs of aging, such as scratches, small marks, and stains that cannot be completely removed. Please understand this as the characteristic charm of antique art. Inside the shrine, there is a pedestal with a hole for setting the Buddha statue. There is no damage to the shrine, and the doors open and close smoothly. How about it for your collection of religious antiques and old art, or for creating a unique space in your home altar or room? ************************************************ Please note that the actual color may differ slightly from the photos due to the photography conditions.
