Batō (Horse-Headed) Kannon

Cleveland Museum of Art

The wood statue depicts a female Kannon figure with a serene facial expression. She wears long, flowing robes with folds carved into the fabric, and her hands are positioned in front of her. A small horse head protrudes from her right hand. Her hair is styled in an ornate headdress. She stands on a lotus flower base, which sits atop a decorative circular platform adorned with a gold-colored pattern. The background of the image is black. This represents Batō (Horse-Headed) Kannon by Unkei.
