This striking mid-20th-century Japanese sculpture by TOYO captures the dynamic pose of a warrior archer in full armor, poised in the moment before releasing an arrow. Inspired by the famous Meiji-era gilt-bronze figure of an archer by Yoshimitsu, this piece exudes both strength and elegance with its intricate detailing and lifelike movement.
Measuring 10 1/2” tall by 10 1/2” wide and 4” deep, the figure is depicted in full armor adorned with intricate crests, kneeling on one leg while leaning back, poised to release an arrow. Though the bow and arrow are missing, the dynamic pose and exquisite detailing remain captivating. Retaining its original TOYO foil label on the bottom of the front foot, this sculpture is magnetic, indicating its iron composition beneath the bronze patina. A statement piece for any collector of Japanese decor or samurai culture, it embodies strength, movement, and historical artistry. See less
