Collection: Guardians & Other Bodhisattvas

Guanyin has her own space in this shop — but she isn't the only figure worth keeping close. This collection holds the rest of that world: bodhisattvas like Ksitigarbha, protector who ventured into the underworld rather than leave suffering beings behind, alongside guardian figures — temple lions, Vajra protectors, door gods — whose role has always been vigilance rather than mercy. Different postures, same underlying purpose: to stand for something in a room.

Guardian figures tend to work in pairs, flanking an entrance or a shelf, drawing a line between what's welcome and what isn't. The bodhisattvas here lean quieter — figures meant for a desk, a windowsill, a spot that could use a steadying presence without becoming a shrine. Materials vary across the collection — carved wood, cast resin, stone — but each piece earns its place by holding up under a second look, not just a glance.

Browse below for protectors and compassionate figures alike, sized for anywhere from a bookshelf to an entryway.

These aren't decorations so much as postures for a room to hold. A seated Guanyin near a reading chair asks for stillness. A pair of guardian lions by an entryway asks for boundaries. Materials and scale vary across the collection — carved wood, cast resin, stone — but each piece was chosen for presence, not just likeness: something that still feels considered from across the room, not just up close.

Browse below for figures ranging from tabletop size to statement pieces, spanning compassion and vigilance both.
