A LARGE AND POWERFUL WOOD NETSUKE OF A SHISHI WITH YOUNG
Unsigned
Japan, Kyoto, early 19th century, Edo period (1615-1868)
A powerful and boldly carved, large wood netsuke of a Shishi with its young climbing over its back. The piece is dominated by a strong patina and mighty bushy curls. The adult Shishi has one paw firmly placed on a brocade ball, with a loose ball inside, and has its head turned, powerfully snarling with large inlaid eyes. The younger Shishi on the adult's back has a grim expression. The underside with himotoshi.
HEIGHT 4.6 cm, LENGTH 6.5 cm
Condition: The right front paw of the adult Shishi is lost. One inlaid eye of the younger Shishi is lost. Otherwise good condition with a strong patina.
Provenance: British private collection.
Literature comparison: For a similar netsuke with one Shishi carved in a very similar manner, and signed Tomotada, see Bernard Hurtig, Masterpieces of Netsuke Art, New York, 1973, no. 823.
