A LARGE BRONZE CRANE


Japan, Meiji period or later


On one paw the incised character 七 (nana, “seven”).

In Japan, large bronze sculptures of cranes - birds with many symbolic meanings - were traditionally located within temples. Starting from the late nineteenth century, similar sculptures were also exported to Europe and the United States, where they were essentially appreciated for their aesthetic values.
