This is a figurine I received as a souvenir from the Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage, dedicated to Kobo Daishi. It was kept at my family's temple. The plastic wrap on the surface has not been removed, so I think it will look beautiful once the plastic is peeled off. It appears to be made of something like iron. The round part on top is light, even though it's iron, while the base is heavy. There is no box, so I will pack it carefully for shipping.
