Behold the resplendent Kannon Bosatsu, the Goddess of Compassion. She is adorned in gold inside a black lacquer zushi with a gold interior. The face of Kannon has a childlike appearance, with eyes downcast and a gentle smile that exudes serenity. She is depicted in a gesture of blessing with her raised right hand and holds a metal floral object in her left hand. Seated in Padmasana on a lotus pedestal, the Bosatsu is framed with a graceful leaf-shaped mandola emanating a spiritual magnetism. The figure and zushi box are both beautifully aged and well preserved.
