Cloisonné bronze statue of a samurai on horseback, made in the late 19th century. The attitude of the rider and the finesse of the details illustrate meticulous workmanship, highlighting the aesthetics and craftsmanship of the period.
The warrior is depicted in armor, with an ornate helmet and a determined expression. His equipment is enriched with cloisonné enamel inlays, adding shades of blue and red that contrast with the patinated bronze.
The horse adopts a natural posture, with its head tilted, reinforcing the impression of movement and balance. Its lines are fluid, and the overall effect is one of harmony between the strength of the warrior and the serenity of the animal.
This piece testifies to precise craftsmanship, and is equally at home in a collection or a setting inspired by Japanese history and culture.
