Benzaiten, Goddes of Knowlegde is a Japanese Buddhist goddess who originated from the Hindu goddess Saraswati.
She is the patroness of music, fine arts, love and happiness in general. She often has a musical instrument in her hands.
The worship of her began in the 8th century mainly through Chinese translations.
She is the eldest of the seven gods of fortune.
Her temples are mainly found on the islands and the coastal strip of Japan.
The statue is placed in the north-west corner of the house, above shoulder level.
The brass statue is 29 cm high and stands on a wooden pedestal of 11x11x5 cm.
The total weight including base is 1970 grams; the pedestal weighs 380 grams.
The marks are on the underside of the robe (see photo).
The sculpture is in good condition and the discoloration of the brass is appropriate for its age.
The images are not signed; artist is unknown.
