Ancient Ivory Netsuke – The Child On A Ram
This superb Japanese ivory netsuke depicts a child seated on a ram, finely carved with great attention to detail. The expressive face, dynamic posture, and delicately incised lines testify to refined traditional craftsmanship. The animal, with its carefully crafted horns and natural posture, harmoniously completes the scene, offering a balanced and characterful composition. The slight natural yellowing of the ivory gives the piece an authentic patina, a sign of the passage of time.
