Japanese Meiji Period Embroidered Silk Picture, Lion and Lioness
26"x39", framed to 31"x43"
circa 1900
*** This piece ships without glass. It's simply too large a piece of glass to safely ship without crating. Replacing the glass is much less expensive. If you are picking up glass will be left in place. ***
In Japanese culture the lion is also a symbol of strength and power, appearing in traditional arts like the shishi-mai (lion dance) and kabuki theater. In Okinawa, a related creature called the Shisa performs a similar guardian function. This large and amazingly fine silk needlework picture would grace a wall of distinction in Meiji Japan.
