This endearing bronze group of a pair of doves resting on a wood base dates from the 19th Century and is part of our collection of Okimono. Their gold eyes stand out from a dark patina and if you look closely, you can see that they are inspecting a pair of miniature crabs decorated in silver and gold on the wood. That attention to detail, so typical of the fine Japanese craftsmanship of the time.
Condition: Excellent
Dove
In Japan the dove is the familiar of Hachiman, the deity of archery and war he is present in Shinto and Buddhist beliefs. The dove represented that after war peace would come, a fat dove gorging on a grain store is likely to represent a time of great peace and prosperity.
