Product description
Monumental Antique Japanese Bronze Sculpture of a Samurai / Daimyo Meiji Period — 92 cm high, 34.2 kg Solid Bronze with Exceptional High-Relief Chasing, ca. 1890 A museum-quality, exceptionally imposing and heavy sculptural masterpiece from the late Meiji period (ca. 1890). This monumental bronze sculpture, an impressive 92 centimeters high and weighing an exceptional, solid 34.2 kilograms, depicts a high-ranking Samurai or Daimyo (feudal lord) in a penetrating, focused posture. The regal figure is dressed in traditional ceremonial attire, characterized by the stiff, angular shoulder pieces (Kamishimo) and a richly decorated kimono. Craftsmanship & Textured Bronze Surface The technical casting quality and the subsequent manual finishing (chasing) are of the highest caliber. The surface of the kimono is fully covered with a meticulous relief pattern, interspersed with flowing floral motifs and the traditional Tomoe-mon (family crests) on the shoulders. In his belt (Obi), the warrior carries his two swords (Daisho): the long Katana and the shorter Wakizashi, whose handles and scabbards are rendered with extreme attention to detail. The face is masterfully expressive, with an intense gaze, furrowed brows, and a traditional chonmage hairstyle (samurai topknot), perfectly capturing the unyielding spirit and dignity of the warrior class. The reverse side reveals a hidden and fascinating detail: the left hand is subtly folded behind the back with an open palm. The bronze possesses a magnificent, deep chestnut-brown patina with subtle lighter nuances on the prominent surfaces. An absolute masterpiece of rare monumental scale for the high-end Asian art collector.
