Fine! Japanese vintage bronze Crab family mini small dolls for IKEBANA/ BONSAI / BONKEI Miniature Landscapes art 0.8×2.2in/2×5.5cm.

This is an old figurine of a mother and baby crab made of small copper. They are beautifully crafted, even on the back side. The color of the copper has deepened with age, giving it a delicate and antique feel.
In Japan, such small figurines are often displayed in flower arrangements to evoke a sense of seasonality. Another art form involves creating miniature landscapes, known as 盆景 BONKEI, on pots or trays. These landscapes incorporate real small trees, grass, moss, stones, and sand. Placing such small figurines within them helps to express the season or a particular worldview.
Unlike mass-produced items, these figurines have a unique atmosphere and blend seamlessly into natural settings.

It is in very good condition, but there are rust, small scratches and dirt due to aging.

I list antiques that sometimes have chips, rubbings and cracks
as they are very old antiques so please check the images and understand the current
condition before buying.
