Japanese bronze incense burner/cachepot, Meiji period. A work of great beauty and quality, certainly created by a great craftsman/artist for an important client. The lid with the sculpture representing Daikokuten (God of wealth, abundance and family), the most beloved deity in Japan, depicting a man with a broad, smiling, robust face and his head covered by a flat hat; in his right hand he held a hammer and in his left a sack (unfortunately, objects in this work have been lost). The vase is supported by three children with typical, very well-finished clothes. For all the details, refer to the photos. The total weight of the work is 3,900 kg (the lid alone weighs 1,200 kg). Professional packaging and tracked shipping.
