Pair of 19th century Japanese ceramic Shachikoko roof ornaments
About the Item
Striking pair of 19th century Shachikoko rood ornaments circa 1880.
These appear to be 'shachikoko' sea monsters still retaining their bold colours, showing the head of a dragon with the body of a carp.
Both are made from 2 sections and would have been originally nailed to the roof.
Because of the material used and their purpose there are losses and repairs. These have been photographed so please check.
