Round bronze plate with high-relief mixed-metal inlay work, characteristic of the metalworking transition from the Meiji period. The composition uses several alloys—likely sentoku (yellow brass), shakudo (copper-gold) and shibuichi (copper-silver)—to create a multicolored pictorial depiction of a figure sitting by the water beside a traditional roofed boat. Fine katakiri-bori engraving marks the water ripples and tree bark, while the herons and cherry blossoms are rendered in relief to create a dimensional effect.

Japanse Meiji-periode bronzen plaat met Sentoku- en Shakudo-inlegwerk

Een ronde bronzen plaat met hoogreliëf gemengde metalen inlegwerk, kenmerkend voor de metaalbewerkingsovergang uit de Meiji-periode. De compositie maakt gebruik van verschillende legeringen—waarschijnlijk sentoku (geel messing), shakudo (koper-goud) en shibuichi (koper-zilver)—om een veelkleurige schilderachtige weergave te creëren van een figuur die bij het water zit bij een traditionele boot met dak. Fijne katakiri-bori gravure markeert de waterrimpelingen en boomschors, terwijl de reigers en kersenbloesems in reliëf zijn aangebracht om een dimensionaal effect te creëren.
