£POA - What does POA mean?
Product Code: KPME37
Simply put, POA stands for “Price on Application”.
With some of our pieces, we prefer not to openly publish our asking price. We absolutely welcome visitors to the website to contact us to enquire about the cost of such pieces.
We just prefer to have a conversation to allow us to explain the pricing as well as to talk in more detail about the piece in question.
It doesn’t necessarily mean that it is a super expensive piece but it may just be that there is something unique or special that we would like to be able to tell you about in more detail.
Contact us to find out more.
This decorative and impressive lidded Koro is held aloft by the much-loved mythological partnership of Ashinaga and Tenaga.
Tenaga is seated with his famously long arms outstretched whilst Ashinaga stands on elongated legs carrying the Koro close to his chest.
The pair betray wonderful facial expressions of concentration, strength (and fatigue) as they hold the giant Koro.
The multi patinated Bronze and gilt figures wearing loin cloths adorned with Mon. Likewise, the figure of a boy holding up a lantern on the cover of the Koro is of Bronze and Gilt with decorative robes.
The Koro itself decorated with a pair of friendly-looking dancing dragons.
A cartouche bearing the mark of Miyao Eisuke is on the rear of the Koro.
The Bronze group stands on a gold lacquered hard wood base, typical of the Miyao Eisuke studio.
Condition: Excellent. Please feel free to contact us for more information, additional photographs, pricing or to arrange a viewing.
