Cast Iron Praying Jizo

Small, yet determined, Jizo Bodhisattva is said to protect women, children, travelers, and those faced with suffering and loss. Jizo's original name in Sanskrit is Ksitigarbha, translated as "Earth Womb." Whether it's at your desk, in the car, or on a small altar—this praying Jizo acts as a protection charm in any place you need it.

3-inch high.
