Genryusai Seiya Japanese Meiji Man & Water Buffalo Sculpture on Stand
About the Item
An exceptional Japanese Meiji bronze sculpture of a man and water buffalo on a natural polished oak stand by renowned Japanese master craftsman Genryusai Seiya and dating from around 1880/90. The large bronze depicts an elderly man holding a pipe and tobacco pouch sat astride a water buffalo on a wooden slatted saddle mounted on a rush mat tied on with rope and with a large straw hat resting on the back of the buffalo. The man guides the walking buffalo with a rope tied to its nose. The bronze is mounted on a thick natural section of oak which has been polished and treated using the natural features of the wood to enhance the presentation of the bronze. The bronze has a wonderful deep dark natural patina only achieved with care and age and has obviously been cherished by its previous owner. A seal mark Dai-Nihon Genryusai Seiya zo is impressed to the lower body of the buffalo. One of the finest examples we have ever encountered and had the pleasure in offering for sale.
