ANTIQUE #SA1178314

Japanese Brass And Mixed-metal Dish “benzaiten And Dragon”, Komai Style, Meiji Period C. 1890

£600    $822    €690
An openwork brass and mixed-metal dish of exceptional quality, Meiji period c. 1890. The central medallion portrays Benzaiten, goddess of music and eloquence, riding a dragon above stylised waves. The dish is worked in brass with inlaid and overlaid mixed metals, chased, pierced and gilt to achieve a sculptural effect.
 
As the samurai era ended, Kyoto armourers redirected their artistry towards luxury metalwork for export — chargers and vases richly damascened in gold and silver. This Komai-style example represents that refined tradition.
