Antique Japanese Ebisu Statue – hand-carved rosewood – lot 133
This authentic Japanese Ebisu statue is entirely hand-carved from solid rosewood and has a powerful, warm appearance. Ebisu, the Japanese god of prosperity, trade, and the sea, is traditionally depicted with a friendly smile, staff, and fish – symbols of good fortune, abundance, and protection.
The statue shows clear traces of manual workmanship and natural aging, with a deeply weathered patina that develops only through time. The proportions, weight, and detailing suggest an early to mid-20th-century dating. The underside and back confirm the handcrafted character and authenticity.
A characterful and collectible object, suitable for lovers of Japanese mythology, Asian art, or as a powerful statement piece in an interior.
