Japanese Antler Netsuke of Abalone
US$390
Length: 4.6 cm (1.8 in)
Height: 1.5 cm (0.6 in)
Depth: 3 cm (1.2 in)
This Japanese netsuke is a lovely example of deer antler carved into a duo of abalone shells, the smaller resting on the surface of the larger shell. The piece has a wonderful old patina and is very tactile to the touch. The himotoshi are large and deep and there appears to be a very worn signature to the underside. This netsuke is in good condition with no damage.
