Japanese reticulated mythological snake dragon sculpture

This reticulated sculpture is Japanese, made during the Meiji period (1868-1912). This six-foot-long figure represents a mythological dragon with a captured pearl in its mouth. Finely detailed, reticulated figures of dragons, fish, crustaceans, and lizards were created a century ago by Japanese master artisans in both wood and bronze.

Thank you for your quick reply. I am really shocked at the price. I knew many people here wanted it, but probably figured I didn't know what I had and they wanted to buy it for nothing. I am glad I held on to it.
Thanks again!
