This is a painted wooden statue of Fudô Myô-ô, a Buddhist deity, or god, from Japan. His name means "Immovable King of Brightness."

Do you see something that might be a symbol of his role as guardian or of any special powers he might have? Roll your cursor over the image to identify a symbol and to discover what it means.
