AN ANTLER NETSUKE OF GAMA SENNIN SITTING ON A TOAD
Japan, Edo period (1615-1868)
Humorously carved, the hermit seated on a large toad, its warty skin detailed with incision work. Gama's expression is amusingly grim, as the toad usually sits on his shoulder, now their positions are reversed. Good himotoshi to the back. The antler bearing a fine yellowish patina.
HEIGHT 3.7 cm
Condition: Very good condition with wear, rubbing, and natural flaws
Provenance: French private collection.
