    This came in the mail today. i won it on ebay and i just love it! it's 6.5" tall and signed on the bottom with a red stamp, but i can't make out anything in the mark. would it be described as moriage? do you think it's Meiji? do you know anything about it?

      This one really is beautiful! I found the original listing through an Image search, but didn't find another one like this one anywhere else on the web.

      i found a few moriage / satsuma buddhas from 1900-1920s/1930s online, but ones like this are earlier. this is an especially nice one w/ the fancy necklace and eye shadow he's wearing.

      i guess this is a bodhisattva - due to the necklace.

      Stunning! If you live close to any museums that have Asian artifacts, the curator may be able to help. Or else a ticket to Antiques Roadshow!
