This technique was used during the period of medieval Japan, particularly in the Kamakura period. The bare parts of the deity were gilded with mercury, this gilding of a good thickness has resisted the wear of tim...

This is a very detailed, exceptionally well-carved wooden statue depicting Vishnu standing beneath five hooded cobras. Most likely a votive offering or from a personal Vaishnava shrine. The piece measures 5-1/2" in height and 2" in width. The detail on this relatively small statue is exceedingly well-done, as the photos will, hopefully, demonstrate. Pieces of this quality are uncommon.

This is a deeply carved three-dimensional carving from the early to mid-19th century depicting Bhairava, the wrathful form of Shiva. The piece most likely formed part of a processional chariot which would have carried a statue of Shiva. The piece measures 15" X 7" and is over 3" in depth. This is a powerfully dramatic sculpture with a rarely encountered subject. Minor losses to one hand, consistent with its age and ritual use.
