A carved wooden image of the emaciated Buddha seated in contemplation on a colored stone before a gold hoya. Lost in contemplation over the sadness in the world, he sits under the tree, head covered in snails that have crawled up to shade him. He is the embodiment of self denial. The image is 13 inches (33 c) tall including the base, the figure itself 7-1/2 inches (19 cm) tall. The image is unusual but consistent in style wtih the later Edo aesthetic.
