No Alan, you have a very valid point .

I believe I spoke too soon; having one of the Japanese Bronzes myself . After some reflection I doubted my conclusion due to the abundant working of the surface of this sculpture to represent the coats of these animals .
That effect does not quite match the Japanese style of these tigers .

My bronze tiger is anatomically correct; the genitalia shown on this cub are quite exagerrated compared to my Japanese rendition of the adult Male.

I plead nolo .
