"Small shrine with a wooden sculpture of Jizo, standing with a jewel in one hand (which are missing), his staff (which is missing) in the other. Here he is represented as Danda Jizo, assisting those who are suffering in hell and saving small children from the wheel of rebirth. The paintings on the doors show naked children chased by demons in hell. Polychromed wood with delicate details. Metal madorla. Japan, late Edo period, around 1800. &lt;br&gt;\r\nHeight zushi: ca. 7 \u00BD inches.&lt;br&gt;\r\nPaintings on the doors rubbed, hardware fragile but functional. Jizo\u2019s hands and attributes missing, glue stains on his back and feet.&lt;p&gt;\r\nRare subject. Painting on the left door shows a human pleading with a demon holding a giant club, while below a child is being led away by a female soul. The right hand door shows a large red demon with club, chasing a child, while mothers seem to be wailing. \r\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
