A PAIR OF ONI DEMONS. WOOD WITH LACQUER.
Japan. Meiji-period (1868-1912)
Wood carved and polychrome lacquered; eyes of one figure inlayed in horn. With their heads these oni reach the clouds; with their clawed feet they stand on rocks. One has an opened mouth and holds a sphere in his hands; the other has his mouth closed and a dragon on his shoulder. Maybe a mitate-parodie of the pair of Ni?at the temple entrance. Since when these figures are used as candle sticks is unknown. Height 53cm. Condition A/B.
Art trade; Van Ham.
