19th Century Japanese Silver Inlayed Bronze Representing Daikoku

About the Item

From the Estate of Paul & Clara Kellner. This large bronze of Daikoku or the God of Prosperity closely associated with farmers, agriculture and rice staples of Japanese life and stability. His attributes are a co-mingling of Indian Buddhist forms of Shiva and the Shinto God Okuninusti. The God is almost invariably showing standing on two bails of rice wielding his magic mallet and caring a treasure sack. The casting is very good and as a further decorative feature, the piece is inlaid with silver at the borders of his clothing and across the front of his robes. Other inlays are at the eyes and on the key elements of the base. Signed the bronze is a fine example of late 19th-century work from Japan. The Kelllner's, both Europeans displaced by the war, came to America and started a new life in new surroundings. After several jobs, the Kellner's through a generous gift started a tie manufactory and within a very few years became the talk of New York selling ties to J. C. Penny. The firms name Better Cravats was by the 1960s selling ties worldwide with sales exceeding five million anally. Their home was on Fifth Avenue and they generously supported philanthropic causes and had a country home in Columbia County.

19th Century Chinese Bronze Dancing Figure

Located in Hudson, NY

The charming figure done completely in the lost wax method is in a primitive naive style. The male figure is dancing excitedly on a rocky outcrop. His costume of a loose-fitting coat with long flared sleeves flying in space as he dances reveals his large potbelly while his loose-fitting shift girdled at the waist with a large belt flips up to show his legs and bare feet as he dances. The figure is suspended on one leg as he moves and his face is animated and happy. The head is cast separately so that his wild hair and beard are free from the body castings...

19th Century Tibetan Patinated Bronze Figure of Tara on New Black Base

Located in Hudson, NY

This fine old bronze of Tara was made for the purpose of focusing on the process of meditation regarding her aspects of wisdom and compassion. Crafted in Tibet but nearer to India and its influences this figure is an interesting combination of Hindu and Buddhist art and religion. Originally Tara was conceived as a Hindu mother goddess with the spread of Buddhism she was redesigned sometime after 4th century giving her a new role within the spreading Buddhist religion. This seems to have taken place in Shri Lanka and then spread out and back into India and Tibet thru China. At this time Shri Lanka was a great trading center and was host to many religious aspects, sects and ideals. The figure is cast with many fine details and is patinated in a warm green, brown showing traces of a coppery red color. The bronze content of this figure has a high amount of copper in the smelting giving the bronze a rich internal red color. Seated in lalitasana with her pendent right foot resting on a separately cast Padma or lotus pillow...

Located in Hudson, NY

This sage green carved stone Buddha was purchased from an upstate NY garden where it has resided for the last 120 years.

Antique Japanese Bronze Hatate 19th C Meiji Inkpot Japan Unsigned

Located in Amsterdam, Noord Holland

Lovely and very detailed piece. . If someone were to bring up the topic of Japanese antiques, what images would come to your mind? Kimono? Swords? Armor? Possibly netsuke? A few might even know what an inro is. How about the yatate? I have shown a yatate to many of my Japanese acquaintances here in Tokyo, and was surprised to discover that most did not even know what it was! Artists and calligraphers usually knew right away, though. A yatate (pronounced yah-tah-teh) is a Japanese portable writing set. The yatate has been around since the Kamakura period (1185-1333). It contains a traditional Japanese bamboo brush and an ink pot filled with cotton or silk which holds liquid sumi ink. Yatate literally means "arrow Stand." The Japanese traditional way of writing is with a brush (fude) and ink (sumi). Before the invention of the yatate, whenever anyone wanted to write or draw in ink, he had to make his own ink by grinding the ink stick...
