A SUPERB AND LARGE IVORY TUSK BOX AND COVER DEPICTING A TIGER AND DRAGONS

Unsigned
Japan, late 19th century, Meiji period (1868-1912)

Of oval form, the sides intricately carved in relief and openwork with five ferocious three-clawed dragons with sinuous scaly bodies, neatly incised curled manes, and eyes inlaid with mother-of-pearl, writhing amid thick swirling clouds. The cover is similarly carved with a sixth dragon writhing around the finial in the form of a majestic tiger seated on its haunches, the animal well detailed with long tail, finely incised fur, and alert expression. The flat base is separately carved and incised around the central nerve channel plug with a foliate design.

HEIGHT 25.7 cm

Condition: Very good condition, minor wear, the plug to the base lost, one eye inlay lost.
Provenance: From the collection of Gaston Lazard (1878-1956) and his wife Jane Levy (1886-1985) and thence by descent within the same family.

The tiger and dragon both have important meanings in Buddhist and Taoist philosophy, together representing the yin and yang, the earth and sky, or the male and female. Furthermore, they represent strength, resilience, and courage.
