About the Item
Inspired by Japanese film maestro Akira Kurosawa’s 1957 masterpiece—Throne of Blood, this beautiful pigeon sculpt with a volley of arrows pierced through his body is an allegorical reference to the film’s protagonist, General Washizu. The film transposes the plot of one of Shakespeare’s notable Macbeth, telling a story of a warrior who assassinates his local lord under the coercion of his ambitious wife.
The sculpt is executed with meticulous attention to detail in line with Kurosawa’s sense of realism and perfectionism. His body a marbled blue, glistening in the light with a hint of gold. He stands with his right foot forward, bended at the knee with arms wide open as though surrendering to his inevitable doom. Paying homage to the ending of Throne of Blood— the1957 film by Kurosawa, this reimagined piece of art remains a landmark of visual strength till this day.
Standing tall at 9.8” X 12” X 13”, this premium collectible is produced in highly detailed PVC, each individually hand painted to achieve a beautiful weathering effect. The figurine comes with a certificate of authenticity signed by James Jean. A premium bespoke box was designed for this exclusive item. Blind embossing is used on selected graphics, complimenting James Jean's original artwork that is printed beautifully on the thick cover. High quality foam safely protects the art piece inside.
