Antique Japanese Meiji Shakudo Gold And Silver Brooch
About the Item
This exquisite antique Japanese shakudo rectangular brooch is a fine example of Japanese mixed metalwork from the Meiji period (1868-1912). The brooch is crafted using a combination of metals including gold, silver and copper, materials used in a Meiji period known for exceptional craftsmanship and unique designs.
The brooch is made using a shakudo technique. The central design features a scene with a pair of geisha sitting on the floor, one of them is feeding a quail (uzura), popular Japanese motif. The quail used to be kept as a fighting cock, and therefore it represents fighting spirit. There is also a cherry blossom (sakura) and a fan motif on the background. The outer frame of the brooch is silver.
