Superb highly detailed hand carved Japanese wall bracket of the Meiji period/late 19th Century. This is a very rare quality work of art done by a master carver.
The wall bracket features an owl with stunning details, perched ready for flight. The top of the shelf is carved with foliage giving it a great touch. Most tops are generally plain. And will display very well at eye level as also from higher up.
