Japanese Edo / Meiji Leaded Copper Articulated Crab

Item Details

Description

East Asia, Japan, Edo to Meiji period, ca. mid 19th to early 20th century CE. A leaded copper articulated model of a crab. Meticulously constructed of numerous hammered plates jointed inside the body to make for a flexible form, the crustacean's limbs and front claws move; surfaces are beautifully incised, some areas modeled in repousse, and the entire surface finished with a rich, chocolate brown and nearly black patina. Size: 4.75" L x 7.7" W x 2.125" H (12.1 cm x 19.6 cm x 5.4 cm)

This piece is a fabulous example of jizai okimono - lifelike, articulated animal figures. Such pieces were first created during a peaceful period in the 17th century when the business of crafting samurai armor calmed down, and certain metalsmiths turned their attention to realizing articulated sculptures like this example.
