Description from the seller
A Powerful and Naturalistic Japanese Bronze Study of a Roaring Lion
This impressive bronze sculpture depicts a majestic lion in a stance of raw power, perched upon a rugged rock and letting out a formidable roar. The casting is of high quality, characterized by a heavy, solid feel and exceptional attention to anatomical detail—most notably in the flowing texture of the mane and the realistic tension in the muscles.
The sculpture is finished with a classic dark-brown patina, which has aged gracefully, giving the piece a dignified antique character. It stands on its original, custom-carved wooden base.
Key Details:
• Material: Heavy cast bronze.
• Stand: Original fitted wooden base.
• Total Weight: 3.9 kg
• Dimensions: Height 23 cm, Length 33 cm, Depth 19 cm.
• Condition: Good antique condition. The bronze has a rich, deep patina with minor surface wear consistent with age.
