Japanese Ivory Netsuke From The Edo-meiji Period
This Japanese ivory netsuke, approximately four centimeters tall, is attributed to the late Edo or early Meiji period (mid- to late 19th century). Exquisitely carved, it depicts a boy seated on the back of a water buffalo, a traditional theme symbolizing rural tranquility and harmony between humankind and nature. The smooth texture and density of the ivory allow for a detailed rendering of the horns, the animal's posture, and the serene expression of the human figure.
