Vtg Japanese Buddhist Statue 

This is a vintage Japanese Buddhist 11 faces Kannon-Bosatsu ( Ekādaśamukha) statue. Ekādaśamukha is believed to bring luck ward off disasters, cure illnesses, give and receive wealth, win, not fall into hell, and go to paradise. One interpretation of the eleven faces of Ekādaśamukha is that it represents both the ten stages (bhūmis) of the bodhisattva path and Buddhahood itself. Another interpretation meanwhile interprets the eleven heads as symbolizing the eleven kinds of ignorance (avidyā) that plague sentient beings and which the bodhisattva removes.
