Japanese Silver Bronze Pink Eye Rabbit Mint, Boxed, and Signed

About the Item

A rare rabbit treasure from Japan. Handsome big seated rabbit cast in silver bronze and hand painted with pleasant pink eyes , signed on its back hind quarters. It is accompanied by its original signed wooden collector box tomobako. It is signed by Japanese master artisan Naoki. Of good scale, this is an attractive solid and finely cast effigy of an elegant resting rabbit as if it is perched to snag a bite or two from a neighbors garden! This was sourced from a large Japanese collection this past year.  Dimension: Large 6.9 inches high and 3.25 inches wide With a finely cast surface skin, pricked and laid back ears, head, and those pink hand painted eyes, the slender body and petite tail all with an attractive silver finish patina. This large rabbit is signed on its rear side and includes its original signed wooden storage box tomobako. This is a rare example of only two of this iconic large scale form we have seen from this artist over the past years.. Rabbit includes its signed original wooden storage box tomobako. Only one available. Lifetime guarantee of authenticity.

    Located in Studio City, CA
    This is a fantastic piece. Perhaps part of a Tibetan temple shrine at one time. Beautiful faded gilt coloring and patina. We believe this is the Tibeat figure of the white Tara, the goddess of great compassion. She is akin to the Chinese figure of Quan Yin.  We are listing as 20th century but could be older.
