A wild Edo period figure of a devil bent over backwards in the bridge position, a Sharito Tower balanced on his abdomen, a bell dragging him down suspended from his back. What awful crimes did he commit to be punished so!?! The bronze bell is either from, or at the least pays homage to, Korean styles. Dating from the Edo period, the unusual image is 22 x 14 x 66 cm (9 x 5-1/2 x 26 inches). Some minor losses to the polychrome consistent with age. The crystal ball and brass fitting inside the tower are later additions.
