OKIMONO WITH TURTLES – MEIJI PERIOD

Okimono.
Family of turtles.
Patinated bronze.

Length 22 cm
Height 14 cm

Japan, Meiji period, second half of the 19th century.
This unusual okimono represents a family of six turtles forming a charming accumulation. It is distinguished by the finesse of the bronze sculpture which renders with naturalism the play of texture between the smooth shell of the animals and their thick skin.
