Pair of Japanese Abumi Samurai Stirrups with Dragons, c. 1800
About the Item
Inlaid with brass and silver, this extraordinary pair of Japanese bronze stirrups, known as Abumi, were crafted in the Edo period (1603-1868) for use on a Samurai's horse. Each is wonderfully detailed with inlaid silver scrollwork and adorned with fearsome dragons covered with scales and grasping flaming pearls, a motif symbolizing the pursuit of power and strength. The interiors are of black lacquer with expected wear consistent with age and use.

- Chinese Ming Iron Bell with Dragon Handle, c. 1600Located in Chicago, ILThis monumental Ming-dynasty bell once pealed in a Chinese village, sounding out in celebration or giving notice of important events. Expertly forged, the cast-iron bell is detailed with characters in intricate relief, and its exaggerated scallop rim is traced with oversized rivets. Covered in scales and ending in expressive faces, the bell's handle is cast in the form of a two-headed hong dragon, thought to be the embodiment of a rainbow and thus visible only after rainfall. Frosted with snow or lit from within by flickering candles, this sculptural bell takes on a magical presence in the winter garden.Category
