A Large Bronze Sculpture Depicting A Ryū Dragon
A large Japanese bronze sculpture depicting a Ryū dragon, its long, sinuous body coiling upward in a sweeping movement.
The body is entirely covered with scales, with an irregular crest running along the back and powerful clawed legs. The upward-facing head features branching horns, open jaws, whiskers, and a thick mane, while the underside is defined by broad transverse plates.
The twisting body creates a dynamic vertical composition designed to be viewed from multiple angles. The dark patina of the bronze, with more pronounced brown tones on the underside and raised areas, emphasizes the complexity of the surface.
Period: Meiji, late 19th century.
Dimensions: 69 x 39 x 35 cm.
Total weight: 10.5 kg
Condition: Excellent condition.
