Object description :

"Falcon And Snake, Bronze, Japan, Meiji/taisho Era, Early 20th Century."
Patinated bronze sculpture representing a hawk standing on a rock measuring a snake below. The composition is very naturalistic, with great attention to detail, as evidenced by the skin of the bird and the scales of the snake. The Japanese falcon has a penetrating gaze, symbolizing the ability to look ahead, to see the essence of things, as well as courage and fortitude. Known in Japan since ancient times, it was very popular as a decorative pattern during the Edo period among the samurai class, and often appeared on boys' kimonos as a decorative pattern.
