Pair Of Bronze Lobsters With Brown Patina – Japan, Meiji Period
Charming pair of okimono in bronze with a warm brown patina, depicting lobsters, made in Japan during the Meiji period (1868–1912). The two crustaceans are shown in a vertical position with elegantly intertwined spiral antennae, forming a decorative and symmetrical composition.
The forms are treated in a stylized manner, with simple modeling and a few decorative chiselled details. This type of okimono was traditionally used to embellish Japanese interiors and is often associated with symbols of longevity and prosperity.
