This rather splendid gilt bronze rendition of a great wave caught my eye in the auction catalogue, and reminded me of Hokusai's Great Wave off Kanazawa, below.
It seemed particularly apt, given our impending visit to Kanazawa in November. Further inquiries however revealed that the piece has a number of obvious imperfections, as below, which would be difficult to ignore.
Unfortunately riding the crest of this wave has therefore come to an end.
