Dragon Fish Japan. Edo period 5'3’’ x 34’’ x 17’’ - 160cm x 86cm x 43cm A splendid model of a Shachihoko, an enormous roof decoration well cast in bronze, with a dragon head with bushy eyebrows and whiskers, flared nostrils, a spiny dorsal fin and 4 large pectoral fins. His body with the scales of a carp and a large flared tail fin. Originally gilded overall, this impressive beast would have adorned the gable end of a splendid castle, temple or Samurai home. Now, with remnants of gilding to the scales and a good green weathered patina.  Note: Shachihoko were thought to provide protection against fire, as they were attributed with the power to control rain.
