18thC Powerful Large Tibetan Fierce Deity, 8307
Located in Ukiah, CA
Very large and powerful Tibetan fierce deity. Stands an impressive 18 inches tall, 19 inches on a custom stand. I believe this piece may have once looked very different and may have gone through a fire or other disaster (likely as part of the cultural revolution in the 1960s). I think it may have been extensively repaired using copper from other damaged sculptures. I say this because the body is so massive and thick, and almost seems to have extra mass beyond what a normal torso with 2 arms and 2 legs, and a head would have contained. It is possible it was originally made this way as a one-of-a-kind piece. I do believe all parts except the bottom are 18/19thC (and probably 18thC). Amazing face on the animal in his hair. Also, all the faces in the small faces...

Old Japanese Embossed Copper Kettle / Flower Engraving/19th-20th Century
Located in Sammu-shi, Chiba
We have an aesthetic sense peculiar to Japanese people. And we introduce the unique items that only we can do, the route of purchasing in Japan, the experience value so far, and the way that no one can imitate. It is a very beautiful and wonderful kettle with flowers engraved on the whole. The technique of hitting a copper plate to shape it is a traditional Japanese technique. In addition, the thin copper plate is engraved. Its delicate technique is very high level. This cannot be erased once it is tapped and chopped. In other words, you cannot make a mistake. And since it has been used for a long time, the color of copper is very nice. The inside of the kettle is painted with tin. There is a mark of repairing the hole on the bottom. (Parts marked in red) Water does not leak. However, do not use direct fire. When boiling water, use an electric stove...
