O soše

Guardian Figure: Nio, a wooden sculpture of the thirteenth century, is in the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland. Together with a companion whose mouth is closed, it originally stood watch at the entrance to a Buddhist temple in Japan. The animated body was assembled from several separate pieces of wood, carefully fitted at the joints. Paint once covered the figure, but exposure to weather has left its colors substantially faded. The carved wooden bases now beneath the two guardians are modern replacements.

Slovy muzea

Paired with a closed-mouth Nio, this figure originally protected the entrance of a Buddhist temple in Japan. Sculpted in an expressive, dynamic style, this figure was created using several pieces of wood carefully joined together. This imposing figure was originally painted, though is substantially faded due to weathering. The carved wooden bases for the two guardian figures on display are modern replacements.
