A wonderful group of finely carved and gilded wooden architectural pieces with attractive gilded patina compliment the sculptural forms. Mainly fragments from old household and temple shrines and altars, the collection displays the exquisite carving skills and the high degree of sophistication of the carvers as they played with decorative motifs such as dragons, leaves and flames.

We look forward to welcoming you to the newly renovated gallery to see the Buddhist sculpture currently on view.
