Description
19th century Japanese bronze / brass page turner with engraved blade and low relief handle with each side depicting a twisting dragon in flight among swirling clouds with a Precious Gem clutched on its claws. The blade is engraved with a Wind God Futen emptying his bag in the clouds, thus creating wind on one side and a bolt of lightning among clouds on the other. Powerful design, sharp work with wonderful detailing - see the texture of dragon’s scaly body and finely defined clouds. Nice patina, some darker area on the end of the blade. Wonderful object for a writing desk. Length 10 1/2 inches.
