Vintage Japanese Carved Wood Standing Daruma Figure
A lovely wooden carving of Daruma with fantastic carving of the face and drapery of Daruma's cloak. I've always like this standing version of Daruma. After visiting the Rodin museum many years ago in Paris, I noticed that Rodin had one in his collection and when you look at his works on Balzac you can see that he took some inspiration from the form. Carved from a light wood, most likely Hinoki or Sugi and then stained blacked. Some small chips here and there. Looks like the tip of the nose has broken off at some point in the past. A fabulous expressive example. Measures 24cm tall x 8.5cm wide
