And Zaō Gongen himself - made of exquisitely crafted gilt bronze (zoom in to see the details). This not very large piece dates to the Heian period and the 10-12 century.
Gongen is a phenomenon in shugendō, a religious tradition dating back to the Nara period (8th century AD) which combines Shinto and Buddhism. And the gongen are considered to be Buddha turned into a kami (i.e. a Shinto god).
On display at Tokyo National Museum.
