Ceramic Senbutsu Buddha statue.
Senbutsu are traditional Japanese or Asia etc relief tiles made from molded and fired clay, then decorated with gold leaf or paint. These tiles feature Buddhist iconography, showcasing detailed craftsmanship and religious artistry. Ideal for collectors of religious artifacts or Japanese art.

The item features a notably cheerful expression, suggesting it may belong to a category similar to Dosojin (traveler's guardian deities) or possibly originates from a region with Korean roots, given its facial expression. There is kanji written on the left side, but it has faded, making it difficult to read. It appears to bear the characters "信農," which are associated with the areas now known as Nagano and Gifu Prefectures.
