AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Magnificent Japanese bronze cast incense burner (koro) from the 19th century (Meiji period). This piece stands out for its classic elegance and the rich symbolism of nature typical of Japanese art.
Body and Motifs: The central boss features a refined embossed decoration depicting birds among peony flowers, symbolizing prosperity and beauty. The chasing work on the feathers and petals demonstrates the mastery of the artisans of the time.
Handles: Two stylized side handles with organic curved shapes that refer to archaic motifs or stylized dragons, imbuing the piece with balance.
Tampa: Finished with an imposing finely carved Shishi (Guardian Lion/Dog of Fo), which serves as a handle (kuse).
Base and Feet: The body rests on three sturdy feet topped with elephant heads (a symbol of wisdom and strength), which in turn rest on a circular stepped and independent base.
Condition: Excellent for its age, featuring an authentic natural patina and signs of use consistent with its age, which give it character and historical value.
