About the Item

A dramatic and beautifully timeworn Japanese Wood Sculpture in vaguely anthropomorphic form balanced on five points and fashioned from a particularly dense and heavy wood. A wonderfully contemplative piece that reveals many interesting facets when gazed upon. The Sculpture, while standing very well on its own, is attended by an irregular wood slab in contrasting wood again with great weight and having three drilled holes. Dimensions: Sculpture on base measures 23.5” high by 12.25” wide by 7.5” deep. Condition: Please see detail photos. The Sculpture in all original and natural condition, the base with drill holes, old adhesive residue, stable age checking and scratches mentioned for accuracy as the presentation is mesmerizing and quintessentially Japanese.
