"Bronze Okimono, Dormouse In The Foliage. Japan, Meiji"
Beautiful kimono depicting a dormouse in the foliage on a terrace imitating basketry with bamboo feet. The eyes of the dormouse are made of copper. Good quality of execution. Rare subject. Note that the dormouse was reattached a long time ago to the platform and that it was repaired a long time ago at the base of the tail. Also a crack on a foliage. (See photos)
