Fine ivory netsuke depicting a playful scene where a monkey emerges from a giant chestnut. The monkey is depicted in a perky attitude. His muzzle expression and body posture convey a sense of joy in coming out of the chestnut. The giant chestnut creates a surprising and imaginative effect. Its exaggerated size compared to the monkey underlines the fantastic and playful element of the scene. Origin: Japan Period: Edo 19th century Dimensions: 4 x 3.5 x 3cm. State of conservation: Very good
