This silver bowl, created in 1895 by Japanese artist Kurokawa Eishō (1854-1917), showcases intricate repoussé work depicting a dynamic dragon. The dragon, a powerful symbol in East Asian art, is rendered with meticulous detail, emphasizing its strength and auspiciousness. The bowl, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a prime example of the skilled craftsmanship that flourished in Japan during the late 19th century.
