About the Item
JAPANESE SCHOOL
Early 20th century
Okimono of a Standing Ram
Patinated bronze signed illegibly to the underside
Item # 306VSG19P
A very finely chiseled Japanese okimono, this fine bronze sculpture of a Standing Ram showcases a high level of skill not only in the casting process but in the exceedingly good finishing work. The underlying surface texture glows under the translucent reddish-brown patina while the intricate layering of hair is achieved largely by hand: chiseling and engraving the surface, hand-hammering elements and working slowly to bring details to life. The model is signed on the belly with an illegible scrolling mark.
Measurements: 11 1/4" W x 9 1/2" H x 5" D
Condition Report:
Trace wear to the patina, including to the tip of the ears, the outer edge horns, spots in the face. Cleaned, waxed and polished, a fine presentation.

Moreau" Item # 012SKP14W A fine model of a rural young farmer resting against a rocky outcrop to sharpen his scythe, the base of which has been set in the hay collected in a pile beside the rock; the naturalistic base is signed along the back in his typical nearly cursive script "Math.
