3 Japanese Netsulke Carved Early 20th Century
A set of three finely carved Japanese netsuke from the early 20th century. Each piece depicts a traditional figure in an expressive and narrative pose, characteristic of Japanese miniature art. The first shows a man holding a fish, a frequent symbolic theme evoking abundance and prosperity. The second depicts a male figure in a lively pose (detailed description available upon request). The third shows a man carrying a small barrel, a scene evoking Japanese folk or festive life. The work is meticulous, with a beautiful antique patina. Small hanging holes (himotoshi) confirm their original function as objects worn on the belt.
