Description
Late 18th to early 19th century Japanese bronze sculpture of a crouching shishi (Buddhidt lion), its tail raised high as it is about to pounce. Perfectly captured posture, superb sculpting, great detailing of its face, beautifully incised tufts of hair on its coat, traces of gilding, soot and grime accumulation on the surface, especially on its face, pleasantly heavy. Must have been part of the incense burner, but holds its own as a wonderful sculpture. Old collection number in red on the underside. Height 3 3/4 inches.
