Meiji Period Japanese Bronze Lion And Crocodile On Wooden Base

About the Item

A delightful Meiji Period Japanese bronze lion and crocodile on a root wood base. A skilfully hand crafted piece that encapsulates the splendour of each animal from the lush lions mane and muscular body to the scales and ridges of the toughened skin of the crocodile. The expressions of both the lion and the crocodile are clear and crisp, caught in the midst of a battle for life and death. The lions eyes are glass. The base is aged and complements the bronze patina. A decorative centrepiece that would complement any room.
