LOT 0050A

19c netsuke mixed metal DRAGON & TIGER

[ translate ]

Description: Unusual 19th century kagamibuta (“mirror lid”) netsuke with copper bowl and mixed metal top depicting a tiger on rocks with bamboo grass and a dragon holding a Precious Gem in flight among swirling clouds: the two appear ready to engage in a fight. Very nice pairing of the most powerful Zodiac animals, bronze disc with gilding, eyes of both beasts are inlaid with shakudo with its characteristic strong black color. Excellent crisp work, some wear to gilding as to be expected, unusual large copper bowl (hollow inside, so the netsuke is not too heavy) incised with scrolling vines along the top. Disc diameter 1 7/16 inches, bowl diameter 2 1/8 inches.
Shipping Note: I will be away for 3 weeks in September, so please note somewhere that the latest I can ship for items sold in that auction is Saturday September 4th, otherwise I will ship after September 27th.
