The first statue beautifully portrays Kwan Yin, revered for her boundless compassion and ability to instantly respond to the cries of those in need, offering divine insight to guide them toward salvation. This antique piece exudes an aura of serenity and wisdom, with a gracefully aged patina and delicate hand-carved details. Natural wear, including minor abrasions and scratches, adds to its historical charm. Please refer to the photos for a detailed view of its condition. The second statue is a charming miniature representation of Ebisu, the deity of prosperity, good fortune, and safe travels. Widely cherished in homes and businesses throughout Japan, Ebisu is depicted holding a sea bream under his left arm, symbolizing abundance and good luck. Crafted during the Meiji period, this statue exhibits signs of aging such as minor scratches, chips, and some soiling, all contributing to its antique appeal. There is a visible crack on the back, and the fishing rod that would have been held in his right hand is missing. Despite these imperfections, this delightful statue remains a valuable piece of Japanese cultural heritage. Please refer to the photos for a detailed view of its condition. Dimensions: approx.
