Description
A Massive Japanese Patinated Bronze Sculpture of a Tiger, Meiji Period. Signed.
Measuring an impressive 44 inches in length, this extraordinary sculpture is a striking example of the grandeur and craftsmanship characteristic of the Meiji era (1868–1912). Most certainly one of the largest models of its kind, this sculpture exudes power and grace, capturing the essence of the tiger with remarkable realism and dynamic posture.
The meticulously detailed musculature, fierce expression, and finely textured fur showcase the superior artistry of Japanese metalwork. The rich patina adds depth and dimension, enhancing its lifelike appearance.
This sculpture is not just a captivating work of art but also a testament to the skill and dedication of Meiji-period artisans, making it an exceptional acquisition for collectors of fine Asian antiques and animalier bronzes.
