A striking hand-carved wooden plaque featuring a traditional Japanese mask, likely representing Daruma (Bodhidharma)—the legendary founder of Zen Buddhism. The mask’s intense gaze, furrowed brow, and exaggerated features evoke determination and spiritual resilience. Painted accents in red and black highlight the moustache, beard, and expressive eyes, while a gold earring adds a touch of ornamental flair. The piece may have served as a talisman or decorative accent in a temple or home. A vivid embodiment of Japanese folk tradition and spiritual symbolism. A compelling decorative object that channels perseverance, focus, and cultural heritage.
