About the Item

MEIJI PERIOD Japan A Roaring Tiger Reddish-brown patinated bronze signed to the underside probably cast circa the first quarter of the 20th century Item # 311ZDK29A A brilliant example of a Roaring Tiger, this fine Meiji Period okimono is executed in bronze with a vibrant ruby surface patina. Typical of the period, extraordinary attention was shown in the manipulation of the surface, this with a glowing high-polish juxtaposed by an etched and dimpled matte that creates the powerful chaotic striping of the tiger's fur. The chiseling and engraving throughout is of self-evident quality, showing the hand of a highly skilled metalworker in every stage of the production of the tiger. It is signed in Japanese script to the belly. A popular subject matter that was created frequently during the period, the present example is quite large and showcases an unusual breathtaking ruby-red patina. Freed from a base and entirely untethered, the ferocious cat strolls the bookshelves and tabletops with a posture and form both sleek and truly intense. At roughly 27" in overall width, the Roaring Tiger is a powerful statement piece. Measurements: approx. 27" W x 5 7/8" D x 10 1/2" H Condition Report: Front right leg with spot of oxidized discoloration to patina; missing the original glass eyes, though we can have modern replacements inserted upon request; other very minor spots of handling wear and surface history, a very fine presentation.
