Shinto / Buddhist Votive Plaque with Image of Jizo (Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva) Attached to a Circular Mirror

Shinto/Buddhist Votive Plaque with Image of Jizo (Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva) Attached to a Circular Mirror. Culture: Japan. Dimensions: Diam. 14 in. (35.6 cm); Image on disc: H. 11 7/8 in. (30.2 cm). Date: 12th century. The kakebotoke is a round metal or wooden disk with a separately made or repoussé (hammered from the rear) image of a Shinto or Buddhist deity imposed upon it. This unusually large example features a gilt repoussé image of the bodhisattva Jizo.
