The figure is depicted standing, with hat of a sage, clad in a loose-fitting robe with deeply pleated folds, holding a staff in a serene pose and smiling broadly.
It features beautiful modeling of face with a striking smile, as well as the drapery, all finished in a warm, antique patina, reflecting a long history of use, in its original, untouched but worn condition.
On back, the “himotoshi” are widely pierced; there is an old scar on holes through which the cord passes, sign of long-term use. 8.5 cm x 4 cm.
