A RARE WOOD NETSUKE OF A GRAZING HORSE
Unsigned
Japan, 18th century, Edo period (1615-1868)
Similar to the next no. 119, however carved from wood and thus considerably rarer. Furthermore, the netsuke is slightly larger and the horse (uma) crosses its legs behind its head, lending movement to the composition. The wood is of a very good color and shows a fine patina. The mane and facial features are very well carved. Large himotoshi through the backside.
HEIGHT 5.5 cm
Condition: Very good condition with fine patina. Miniscule wear.
