LOT NUMBER 15
Chinese Bone Netsuke carving of a man holding a musical instrument, early C20th
A Chinese Bone Netsuke carving of a man holding a musical instrument, depicted with its strings, and dressed in a simple robe decorated with incised detail in brown and black, two typical holes to the reverse, early C20th. Netsuke were developed in Japan as a fastener or toggle by which small hanging storage boxes, okimono, could be attached to the sash of a kimono. They were made in a variety of forms but the small figurine, as here and in the previous lot, was the most common. Chinese examples seem to have been made in the early twentieth century and were more often crafted from bone rather than the ivory or wood favoured by most of the Japanese craftsmen.| Size: | 32.6mm x 22.5mm |
| Weight: | 9.2 gm |
| Date: | 1920s |
| Condition: | Very good condition |
| Estimate: | £15 – 20 |
