About the Item

This most pleasing hand carved hardwood Japanese Meiji period okimono depicts a muscular prowling tiger. Its body is slightly lowered in a stalking position with its mouth open showing a formidable array of teeth which in addition to its large paws with sharp claws makes this large cat a top natural predator. This wonderful study has been carved from a single piece of dense rich hardwood including the naturalistic base. All the elements are original and in good condition with no damage. This pleasing okimono has developed a rich dark patina over the last century. Japanese, circa 1900 Height 15cm x width 30cm x depth 7cm Thank you for looking at this Meiji period carved hardwood tiger. If you need any further information or photographs please let us know. We are more than happy to help!
