Item Details
Description
EXCEPTIONAL JAPANESE BRONZE GROUP, MEIJI PERIOD. Comprising an exceptionally well crafted and highly detailed bronze group depicting two oni wearing animal skin loin cloths in sentoku with engraved details and holding a glass sphere aloft on three hands between them. One demon of shakudo, the other patinated a copper color and each with separately crafted wrist and ankle bangles. Apparently unsigned. Overall height, including sphere, 7.25 inches (18.4 cm).

For a nearly identical group, see Sotheby's London Auction of Wednesday November 19, 1997, Lot 342, illustrated. And for another similar model signed Takachika, see The Nasser D. Khalili Collection of Japanese Art - Treasures of Imperial Japan, Metalwork Part II, p. 123.
