A special loan exhibition of the Daiitokui Myo-o from the Clark Center for Japanese art will highlight the exhibition. This deity is one of five Bright Kings and is said to have mystical knowledge and the power to help conquer passion and desire. Sophisticated in design, it has a strong humorous touch. Its graceful curves indicate how far pottery had advanced in that Neolithic period. The jury is still out on whether these were funerary objects or ritual vessels and status symbols.
Prices range the from low to mid-five figures.
