Japanese Antique Stone Finial Seki-Butsu Garden Ornament Lantern Top 24cm
Description
This is a Japanese antique stone ornament, most likely the finial (Hōju, jewel-shaped top) of an old stone lantern. Its shape and form also suggest it may have been used in folk beliefs or as a symbolic garden object. The surface is naturally aged with moss and patina, giving it an authentic antique character.
Such stone pieces were traditionally placed in temple or garden settings, embodying Buddhist symbolism and wabi-sabi aesthetics. Today, they are highly valued as collectible Japanese garden ornaments and architectural fragments.
