| This is a very well cast Japanese bronze dragon in a long stretched out position. The detailing is excellent in every respect – the horns, the scales, the fierceness of the face etc. The bronze measures 9” long by 2 ½” high by 2” thick. There are two square holes in the bottom of the piece, which we believe us think that it might have been a handle to some larger bronze – at any rate it displays quite well on its own. The dragon is in excellent condition with no cracks or missing parts - we date it to the late Edo to early Meiji period, circa 1850-1880 – fine patina could indicate an even earlier dating. | ||||||||||||||
