Two wooden sculptures of standing figures, likely deities, are displayed against a plain background. The figures wear draped robes and stand on tiered bases. These guardian deities from a Japanese Buddhist temple, Bonten and Taishakuten, are rare surviving examples of the ancient hollow dry-lacquer technique.
