This is a Maria Kannon statue created by a sculptor. She has a face overflowing with compassion. The baby's face also has a good expression. There is a crack in the area where the clothing and arm overlap. I don't think it affects the essence of the work, but please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. The material appears to be brass from the base color, but I cannot be certain. Size: Height 30 cm The Jibo Daikannon statue is a mother of compassion, and the child she holds represents us, the masses, always being watched over with a mother's love. Therefore, it is said to fulfill wishes for family safety, conception, healthy child growth, and memorial services for stillborn children, among others.
