About this piece
A white-bearded man in gold-flecked robes, mid-gesture.
Japanese metalworkers made this standing figure depicting a Shinto priest in bronze in the mid 20th century. Shinto priests are commonly shown in layered, formal robes, and small figures like this are often made as decorative sculpture. This one stands with one hand raised and the other at his side, wearing a long coat over wide skirts. His thin beard and topknot are modeled with care. The dark patina is flecked with gold highlights along the garment folds.
About 12 inches tall. A dignified presence on a desk or bar cart.
