Japanese Cast Iron Wall Sculpture, Buddhist Kannon, 1960s

Dimensions: height 28 cm, width 17 cm, depth 11 cm.

The sculpture is cast in heavy iron and features a warm dark brown to copper-toned patina, with subtle variations in sheen and natural wear that add depth and character to the surface. The closed eyes, soft facial features, and carefully rendered hair arranged in a high knot create a serene, almost meditative presence.

A maker’s mark is visible on the reverse, indicating Japanese production. The open back with an integrated hanging option confirms that the object was originally intended as a wall piece, although it can also be displayed freestanding as a sculptural accent.

A restrained, timeless object that integrates effortlessly into minimalist, wabi-sabi, or eclectic interiors, bringing a calm and contemplative atmosphere.
