Excellent condition and nice patina.
 
Located on Sado Island, the Takusai Honma family of bronze artists was famous for their work in lost-wax casting and their mastery of patination that produced a sublime, variegated patina. Among the materials used was hanshido bronze, an alloy that resulted in irregular oxidation, giving the appearance of purple to violet spots. Although the art and name of Takusai Honma continued through six generations, the work of the earliest members of the line is considered the best.
