Description from the seller

Fantastic Japanese statuette from the late 19th century, entirely bronze.

It represents a monk or a demon holding an offering cup.

Very detailed and ornate, it is structurally impeccable and very solid, only note a crack in a decorative part marked in the photos, which with a simple weld/repair would be as good as new, but it is something I leave for the buyer to restore to their taste.

A rare piece, large in size, very beautiful and full of history.

Seller's Story

Antiques are my great passion; all the items I have on auction were found at antique fairs and antique shops mainly from the Lisbon area, but also from the rest of Portugal, a country with a centuries-old history and many fabulous pieces and objects from this long journey, which I present here for auction. Only pieces of good quality, distinctly original, and obviously beautiful. Guarantee of quality and great care in the shipping of the items. Thank you.
