Object Description

This exquisite Meiji period Japanese bronze statue, attributed to Miyao, of Benkei holding a Koro, showcases remarkable craftsmanship and intricate detailing. Standing majestically on a beautifully carved wooden base, the statue features the robust figure supporting a richly adorned Koro, complete with dragon motifs and symbolic elements. The bronze is elegantly patinated, enhancing its historical charm. The figure’s expressive face, adorned with fine decorations, reflects the artistry of the era. Each element, from the intricate carvings of the base to the ornate details of the urn, tells a story of Japanese culture and artistry during the Meiji period, a time of significant artistic evolution.
