A Bronze Plated Okimono of a Seated Sage
A very highly detailed okimono (figurine) of a seated sage executed in pot metal with bronze plating. Every detail of his robe - face - beard - front and back is very finely carved. The piece measures 2 1/2" wide by 2 1/2" high by 2" deep. It is in excellent condition with some small areas where the bronze plating has worn away over the years. We date it to the late Meiji to Taisho era, circa 1900-1925 - however it is quite possible from the patina that it is older than that.
