Found on our most acquisitions trip, here’s an impressive decorative accent and rare Buddhist treasure from Japan.
This hard to find large antique 19th century auspicious sculpture is actually a large and rare beautifully worked iron lock-completely intact and with its original key coming no doubt from an important “kura” art storage door from old Japan, Edo-Meiji period mid-late 19th century.
Notice the fine detail of the auspicious bag of gifts and extended ribbon and bows! And yes, that is the original working key which is included.
We doubt you will find a better example. A remarkable survivor.
Dimensions: the lock is 12 inches high and 19 inches in length and key is 12 inches length.
Provenance: private Takayama collection.
This beautifully crafted sculpture would make an ideal “conversational” choice for any indoor home or office space.
