Highly unusual pair of candlesticks in the shape of the eccentric duo Ashinaga and Tenaga. Tenaga is crouching on the ground, his arms stretched high above him, holding a lotus leaf shaped cup that should hold the candle. Ashinaga is standing next to a jar used for fishing, holding a lotus leaf shaped cup stretched above his head. Both their faces show strain in their efforts to hold the cups as high as possible. Beautifully patinated bronze. Japan, Meiji period, 19th century. Height: Ca. 27.2 inches and 28.1 inches (68 cm and 70.3 cm). Excellent condition. |
