opr1945
Black Belt
After reading about Fudo Myo-o in another thread I have been looking for a small statue of him. I Bid on several on ebay, unsuccessfully. I finally won an auction. Obviously it is the blue (described as Turquoise?) one in the picture. The taller stature I purchased at a flea market in Tupelo, Mississippi, USA in 1970. It is quite light in weight and I believe wood.
While bidding for the statue of Fudo Myo-o I came across these other guys. They were described as wise men and carved out of wood. However, they are quite heavy for their size. Each little guy weighs more than the taller guy in the other picture. If wood it is denser the the other one.
Are they just some random person or perhaps a representation of someone famous? The guy sitting down was described as sitting on a leaf. Bodhidharma maybe?
Anyone recognized any of these guys?
Thanks
