Japanese bronze tiger late Meiji to mid Showa period
A Japanese bronze figure depicts a tiger in a powerful, standing pose, its mouth open as if mid-roar or challenge. It stands securely on a custom-fitted hardwood base. The dating of the piece to the late Meiji (1868-1912) to mid-Showa (1926-1989) era places it within a period of significant artistic and industrial development in Japan, where traditional craftsmanship often merged with new techniques. The tiger is a powerful symbol of strength, courage, and protection against evil spirits. The tiger is also associated with good fortune, long life, and overcoming challenges.
