Silverwork Embroidered Four Panel Screen
From Streett Marburg
Availability: SOLD
This extraordinary Japanese screen is hand embroidered with silver thread and depicts Guardian lions, also known as komainu, shishi, or foo dogs. These are mythical, lion-like creatures seen across a breath of art forms. They are full of meaning - they symbolise prosperity, success, and guardianship. The Meiji period lasted from 1868 until 1912. There is an wonderful three dimensional appearance to this piece. We like it wall mounted as a piece of art ,but it can also be used as a room screen.
