鎌倉時代 十二神将像立像 一躯

頭に十二支の動物が表された十二神将は、薬師如来に従う守護神。

玉眼が捉える目力に凛々しい顔立ち、シャープな中に感じさせる動きは、鎌倉時代の木造立像として芸術性に富み、とてもたくましい姿に見惚れる貴重な逸品です。

From the Kamakura period, this is one of wooden statues of the Twelve Heavenly Generals, each bearing the animal of the Chinese zodiac on their heads, are guardians that serve the Healing Buddha. Captured with crystal eyes, their compelling gaze, gallant facial expressions, and the sense of movement within their sharp outlines, showcase the artistic richness of Kamakura-period wooden statues. A magnificent find, these statues captivate with their robust and splendid form, truly a rare treasure to behold.
