-DEACCESSION-

This small yet complex netsuke is nothing short of a showpiece. The carving is both intricate, virile and moreover an one-of-a-kind original design. Though that the material appears to be carved from bone, the interlaced rounded edges suggested that the netsuke is possibly made of stag antler. With two formal himotoshi on the base, there are also multiple openings which the cord may pass through. As in the Comprehensive Study Based On The MT Hindson Collection by Neil Davey, there are seven netsuke carvers listed as Gyokuzan. Hence according to its style and composition and aged patina, we can only tentatively attributed the netsuke to the late 19th or early 20th century. Please note that we offer no explicit guarantee for the applicable material other than an opinion on the age and excellent condition of this carving.
