Gilt-Wood Figure of Buddha Muromachi Period

The face is framed by hair caught up in wide bands surmounted by a similarly-banded topknot; both layers of the coif terminate in a spiral of hair at the front. Except for the hair, the figure and lotus are covered with gold lacquer, the majority of which is complete. Height 14 inches (35.5 cm).
