A fine Japanese Meiji Period articulated bronze crayfish/lobster

Lifelike articulated lobster figure (jizai okimono), made of copper, with movable parts.

The unification of Japan and subsequent peace brought about by the Tokugawa government, caused a decline in the demand for arms and armor, and some metalsmiths diverted their energies to creating household items, farm tools, and some decorative works such as this kind of figurine.
