A Large Japanese Bronze Model of a Crab.
A large bronze figure modelled as a crab, shown with a broad, domed carapace and deeply articulated legs arranged in a natural, alert stance. The claws are prominently raised and detailed, with carefully defined joints and serrated edges, giving the figure a strong sense of movement and tension. The surface displays rich tonal variation across the bronze, with smooth, polished areas contrasting against more textured sections that emphasise the anatomy of the creature.
L: Approximately 7cm
W: Approximately 11.5cm
Provenance: Private collection from a British gentleman.
