A FINE GILT AND POLYCHROME WOOD FIGURE OF MAKORA, ONE OF THE TWELVE HEAVENLY GENERALS, KAMAKURA TO NABOKUCHO PERIOD

Japan, 13th-14th century, Kamakura period (1185-1333) to Nanbokucho period (1336-1392)

Scientific Analysis Report: The result of a radiocarbon dating test conducted by RCD Lockinge, from a sample taken in March 2024 from the back of the figure, is consistent with the dating of this lot. A copy of the signed report, dated 16 September 2024 and containing photographs of the figure and the sample-taking, accompanies this lot.

Boldly carved standing in a dynamic pose atop a rockwork base raised on a rectangular plinth, one hand raised toward the mouth, the other bent forward. The divine general dressed in an elaborate Chinese-style armor decorated with ornate patterns. The face with a contorted expression with large inside-painted glass-inlaid eyes and finely painted brows and beard, the fiery hair centered by the head of a monkey.

HEIGHT 36 cm (the figure) and 47 cm (total)

Condition: Very good condition with old wear, small nicks, few minor chips, remnants of adhesive, and flaking to lacquer.

Makora (Mahala), identified by the monkey in his hair, is one of the Twelve Heavenly Generals (Juni Shinsho), each of whom is associated with an animal of the zodiac. They are known as the protective deities (or yaksha) of Yakushi Nyorai (Bhaisajyaguru), the Healing Buddha to whom the faithful pray for release from suffering. Each of the Divine Generals is said to represent one of twelve vows made by the Healing Buddha to heal the sick and ignorant and guide them on the path to enlightenment.
