| 18th century ivory netsuke of a standing sennin (Chinese sage) holding an open scroll in his hands. Excellent carving on his smiling face, beautiful flowing lines of his robe, nice etching of the robe patterns. The scroll ends are inlaid with gilded bronze. The netsuke is of typical 18th century triangular section, old age lines. Very nice wear to the piece, warm yellow patina. Strong early piece, formerly in the collection of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, old collection number on the underside of the scroll. Height 1 15/16 inches. | ||
