EastWest Gallery



$350  

A powerful yet gentle looking Shishi lion playing with a brocade ball. The musculature, bones and toes are well defined and very natural.

Most likely the figurine dates to the late Meiji or Taisho period. The Shishi is quite large at 19cm high and 20cm wide and in good condition except for some original glaze crazing.
