An unusually large animated sculpture photographed in natural sun light.
A fine large scale 24 inch long antique Japanese caste bronze Koi fish sculpture symbolic of prosperity, perseverance and good fortune. Japanese Taisho period (1912-1926).
This fine bronze, the first of this size and form we have ever encountered, was conceived in an animated life like manner as if it is realistically doing a fast turn in the depths of a pond or lake – swirling features – the first we have ever seen. It is naturally quite stunningly heavy with excellent head, eyes, scales, and fin details.
Fine condition.
Dimensions: Big 24 inches in length and 14 inches deep
Provenance: private southern Japanese collection
Only one.
