22.3 SATSUMA LANTERN. Extremely rare, especially fine
Satsuma lantern in the form of a pagoda on an elaborate pedestal with
multilevel base, shrine, and a domed hexagonal pagoda-style temple
roof. The entire surface is exquisitely painted in very fine detail
using polychrome enamels and gilding. Three stacking sections. It is
signed on the base "Senzan." 13 3/4 inches high. Perfect.
