Vase - Bronze - Japan - Meiji era - Large Vase
This magnificent pair of vases is decorated with complete artistic images of a dragon, a phoenix, and relief decorations in the form of Japanese landscapes and ornamental friezes.
The dragon is associated with power, primarily imperial power, which is why it often symbolizes the emperor. Together with the phoenix, it embodies the imperial couple (the dragon is a masculine symbol, identified with Yang energy, thus representing the emperor. The phoenix, on the other hand, embodies the Yin energy of the woman and is therefore the symbol of the empress.
