拍品描述
By Joko, signed JokoJapan, late 19th century, Meiji period (1868-1912)Heavily and finely cast as a majestic phoenix standing upright with its head turned to the side, exquisitely modeled in an alert expression with gilt eyes and beak agape in a silent call, revealing tongue. The plumage, feathers, and textured skin are meticulously rendered. Signed JOKO to the belly.HIGHT 30.8 cmWEIGHT 2,382 gCondition: Overall good condition with minor wear and casting irregularities, few scattered nicks and scratches, minor losses to exposed areas, one foot reattached.The phoenix (Ho-o) was adopted in Japan, as earlier in China, as a symbol of the Imperial household, particularly the Empress. This mythical bird represents fire, the sun, justice, obedience, fidelity, and the southern star constellations. According to legend, mostly from China, the phoenix appears very rarely, and only to mark the beginning of a new era, such as the birth of a virtuous ruler. In other traditions, it appears only in peaceful and prosperous times, nesting in paulownia trees, and hides itself when there is trouble. It is both a symbol of peace (when the bird appears) and a symbol of disharmony (when it disappears).
