GUDOM, trä. Japan, 1800-tal eller äldre.

From the collection of the Swedish painter Einar Jolin (1890-1976), thence by descent.

Einar Jolin had only japanese, chinese, indian and persian works of art in his stuido. He said he never tired of them, that they were products of ancient civilisations, that inspired him greatly and brought great calm and harmony.

The sculpture is depicted in many of Einar Jolins still life paintings.
