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. The figure, lotus throne, and double halo are all separately modeled by hammering and are attached to the disk with small nails, a technique of the late Heian period.
