19th Century Okimono Bronze Japanese Crab Sculpture Paperweight

About the Item

A 19th Century Okimono Bronze Meiji period Japanese Crab. The crab is of good weight and could be a decorative object or a paperweight. The sculpture is very detailed, down to the intricate 'fuzz' above the claws... a wonderful piece. Could be polished up to a more brilliant sheen, but we like the patination... personal preference.
