Very attractive Japanese bronze planter, circa 1900, probably Meiji style.
A beautiful decorative piece in bronze with a warm brown patina.
Slightly flared neck and a rim decorated with a raised geometric pattern.
The body of the planter is divided into several finely carved panels depicting natural scenes:
Flowering branches, possibly cherry trees or magnolias, symbols of ephemeral beauty and renewal in Japan.
A landscape with reliefs and stylized vegetation.
The side handles are shaped like stylized elephant heads, a decorative element often found on Japanese bronze objects of this period.
