Eleven-Headed Kannon (Jūichimen Kannon)

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a dark-colored statue of Eleven-Headed Kannon (Jūichimen Kannon) sitting cross-legged on a base. The statue is made of dark-colored material, possibly bronze or stone, with a weathered appearance and patches of green and white. The figure sits cross-legged on a round base with hands clasped together in prayer. Eleven heads are stacked on top of each other, with the largest head at the bottom and decreasing in size towards the top. The heads have serene expressions. The figure wears a long robe with folds carved into it. The background is a gradient from dark at the top to light gray at the bottom, with a shadow cast by the statue to the right.
