Antique Japanese Meiji period carved hardwood okimono of a prowling tiger C 1900

About the Item

This most pleasing hand carved hardwood Japanese Meiji period okimono depicts a muscular prowling tiger. Its body is slightly lowered in a stalking position with its mouth open showing a formidable array of teeth which in addition to its large paws with sharp claws makes this large cat a top natural predator. This wonderful study has been carved from a single piece of dense rich hardwood including the naturalistic base. All the elements are original and in good condition with no damage. This pleasing okimono has developed a rich dark patina over the last century. Japanese, circa 1900 Height 15cm x width 30cm x depth 7cm Thank you for looking at this Meiji period carved hardwood tiger. If you need any further information or photographs please let us know.

Late 19th Century Japanese Carved Hardwood Okimono of a Man, circa 1890

Located in Central England, GB

Late 19th C Japanese carved hardwood okimono of a man, circa 1890 This top quality and most impressive large scale Japanese carved hardwood okimono superbly depicts a characterful study of a delightfully crafty looking man. He is dressed simply in a robe. On his back, he has a rolled woven mat for resting and a turtle shell sun hat hangs below. On his side hanging from his waist sash, there is a simple hand fan made from woven palm leaves and around his neck, he is wearing a string of very large beads. This unfortunate character is on a journey and he seems to have lost or broken one sandal. His foot is sore and he is resting it on his gnarly walking stick. He has one arm outstretched and is holding out a large piece of fresh fruit as an offering perhaps to barter for new sandals...
