| 19th century lacquered netsuke of a tennin (Buddhist female angel) in flight holding a lotus flower with long stem in one hand. Photos came out a bit harsh. Extraordinary detailed carving, superb quality depiction of her face and garments decorated with ivy leaves and inlaid with tiny gold flakes and green abalone shell pieces, beautiful flow to the lines of her billowing scarves. Beautiful wear and patina, great sculpture. Length 1 13/16 inches. | ||
