PRESSED HORN MASK GROUP NETSUKE SLIDE, 19th CENTURY
This fascinating netsuke consists of a collection of eleven Japanese masks, crafted in pressed horn. It appears to have been used as a slide or obi ornament, as there are two holes through which a string or ribbon could be threaded. Notice the small tassel and rope embellishment around the holes. This netsuke measures 1 3/4 inches in diameter and is in very good antique condition, as seen in the photos.
