Ɏ A SUPERB IVORY NETSUKE OF A DOG WITH SANDAL Ɏ A SUPERB IVORY NETSUKE OF A DOG WITH SANDAL Unsigned Japan, 18 th century, Edo period (1615-1868) Superbly carved as a recumbent male dog, the body slightly curved, its head lowered and biting into the strap of a worn sandal. The tail at the end forms a pleasing curl. The ivory is beautifully worn, the finely incised, sumi-stained hairwork almost entirely worn away leaving behind a stunning deep yellow patina, turning golden brown in the back. The dog has a rather peculiar expression, unlike any of the works of the famous Kyoto masters such as Tomotada, Masanao, Okatomo, or Yoshinaga, but rather the netsuke has an Osaka feel to it, perhaps more similar to the output of Gechu. A comparison can also be made to the work of Takenobu, though Takenobu’s suspected active period was later. The underside shows the well carved sandal, and the large and generously excavated himotoshi. LENGTH 6 cm Condition: Very good condition, the ivory heavily worn with a superb patina.
