piece is composed of four separate lames or plates riveted together with a reinforcing
ridge around the edge. The piece then has two hinges that hook into the thigh armour.
This piece has numerous period repairs which would be typical, that is replacements

on a multi-tiered plinth represented in manifold form of four arms holding a shield,
two swords, and a bow and arrow. The piece is missing its original mandorla plate

is superbly modeled in Hinoki or cypress wood and has areas of splicing repair which
is typical of the period, it also retains traces of its original lacquer coating. The head is
carved as an insert which is typical of larger pieces from temples of the Edo Period. A
rare example of a larger period Japanese wooden sculptural piece. A beautiful piece.
