Netsuke. Meiji period, Japan, late 19th-early 20th century. "Frogs." Carved boxwood. Signed. Measurements: 4 x 3,5 x 2,5 cm. The netsuke are miniature sculptures that were invented in the seventeenth century in Japan as a complement to clothing, specifically, as a decorative object that retained the string of the inro boxes.
