19th Century Japanese Bronze Lion Meiji Period on Wood Base Signed

About the Item

This 19th Century bronze male lion is in very good condition. No significant damage to the lion or its lacquered wood base. The left glass eye of the lion is missing. The joint where the tail meets the body is slightly loose and shows a very small separation and there may be a pin missing where the tail is. However, this is not damage as it is most likely due to being lifted by the tail. This fierce and impressive bronze sculpture of a roaring lion was made during the Meiji Period in Japan (1868-1921). The bronze has a dark chocolate brown patina which is original to the piece. It is signed on the bottom of the belly with a Japanese chop mark.
