A wood figure of Jizo Bosatsu. Heian or early Kamakura period

Standing on a lotus flower above a turned over lotus leaf and a cushion, the right hand holding a staff with loose metal rings, the left hand originally held a small vessel on a lotus base. The figure is entirely painted black and blackened by soot, including the metal and glass bead jewelery on the chest and the urna on the forehead. Feet and the pole of the staff replaced. Behind the figure a simple halo, inserted at the back and restored.
Height of the figure 49.1 cm; total height 74.8 cm
