Shinto Deities

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows two wooden statues of Shinto deities side by side. The statues are made of wood and have a weathered appearance. The statue on the left sits cross-legged with its hands resting on its lap. The statue has a serene expression, with eyes closed. It wears a headband and a robe with folds. The statue on the right sits cross-legged with one hand resting on its knee and the other raised. The statue has a more serious expression, with eyes open. It wears a head covering and a robe with folds. The background of the image is a gradient that transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
