Description:
This is a charming pair of Japanese bronze male and female tortoises that date to the Meiji Period. The tortoise is the Japanese symbol for longevity and happiness, two facets of life that are treasured by all cultures. This pair of tortoises is beautifully cast in finely detailed high relief, the male is slightly larger than the female and looks a bit more aggresive upon close inspection. Although the bronzes are not signed, they are of superb quality. The tortoises come with custom lucite plinths (have yet to pick them up from fabricator) and I will post photos of the tortoises with their plinths asap.
