A RARE STAG ANTLER NETSUKE OF A TOAD AND FROG ON BAMBOO
Unsigned
Japan, 19th century, Edo period (1615-1868)
An unusual netsuke carved from stag antler and depicting a dominant, fat and warty toad (gama) grabbing a smooth-skinned frog (kaeru) and pulling him up a stalk of bamboo. The frog struggles to climb up and one leg is extended and trails all the way down. Amusingly, there is certainly no space for the poor frog. The warts of the larger toad are crafted masterfully and are enhanced by the structure of the antler material. Both amphibians have inlaid eyes of black horn. Himotoshi through the hollow bamboo stalk and underneath the backside of the toad.
HEIGHT 5 cm
