Rare and fine 15-16thC early Edo or slightly earlier Japanese Baby Buddha pointing towards the heaven and earth as whitness to his taking his first steps. Very unusual to still have both pointing fingers- they are usually long missing. Remains of original gilding on the beautiful surface, with its complex patina. Stands 6-1/2 Inches Tall, 8 3/8 inches on custom stand. The few other Japnaese Baby Buddhas of this form (almost all standing Baby Buddhas of this type come from China, Korea, or Japan) I have seen have mostly been made of wood.
