A RARE EBONY WOOD NETSUKE OF A KIRIN AS A DUCK
Unsigned
Japan, late 18th to early 19th century, Edo period (1615-1868)
Depicting a reclining Kirin, its four hooves tucked underneath its body and touching one another. The posture immediately reminds one of a duck, and the mythological creatures has its beak-like mouth opened, imitating a duck. The Kirin has one horn flanked by two ears, long flowing whiskers, a scaly neck like that of a snake, flames emanating from its body and a bushy tail like a Shishi. The double-inlaid eyes of pale and dark horn give it a wild enigmatic expression. Good, large himotoshi through the underside and side.
HEIGHT 3.4 cm, LENGTH 3.5 cm
Condition: A section of the left ear is restored. Otherwise excellent
condition.
Provenance: European collection.
