Watch List notes:

ca. late 19th Century AD. In a beautiful example of Meiji sculpture work exquisitely chased this is a statue of Ryujin or the dragon god who was the traditional Japanese deity of the sea. He stands on a rock-work base in flowing robes holding a magical pearl in his right hand and a spear in the left. This is an excellent example of true 19th century Meiji bronze work. H. of figure 12 1/4" (31 cm).
