"Pair Of Lamps With Dragons, Japan, Meiji Era, 19th Century."

The shape is reminiscent of the slender dragons of the Chinese Ming dynasty. The attributes of the Japanese dragon or ryū are water, sea, air and clouds, and it is a positive symbol associated with good powers. The base of the lamps is openwork.
