Description
19th century marine material ojime (slide bead for tightening the cord going from netsuke to inro) in ball shape carved in medium relief with a kneeling maid presenting a gift to a standing samurai armed with a sword, long bow and quiver with arrows, all under a pine tree and with a thatched roof hut and a woven fence on the background. The appearance of the samurai figure suggests that he's a Yabusame Archer. Yabusame archery came into being in the Heian Period, its popularity lasting from Kamakura period to the present day. Costume for the archer remained traditional since the Heian / Kamakura period. The competition, taking place on horseback, was usually an annual festival event with some of the winning archers becoming celebrities of the day, and it is possible that a particular historical or legendary individual may be represented here. Wonderful quality carving, superb warm patina, metal liner with floret terminals for the central hole. Diameter 0.74 inches.
