19c Negoro sashi netsuke CLOUD DRAGON 18.3 cm
Description: Very unusual 19th century lacquered wood sashi type netsuke carved in a shape of a cloud dragon with its head turned back onto itself, its neck forming himotoshi. Does not photograph well, impressive when handled. Elegant and clever carving, all 4 legs are in different positions, nice rendition of its face and hair. Wood is lacquered in Negoro style - red lacquer over black, so as it wears the black starts showing, gold lacquer highlights, excellent wear and patina on the surface. Almost identical, but unlacquered model by Gyokutei is illustrated in NETSUKE FAMILIAR & UNFAMILIAR, by Raymond Bushell, p. 198. Length 7 1/4 inches (18.3 cm).
