A FINE WOOD NETSUKE OF A SNAKE Unsigned Japan, early 19th century, Edo period (1615-1868) A fine model of a coiled snake, its head placed on top of its body, the mouth slightly opened and with glaring eyes double inlaid in pale and dark horn. The scales of the winding serpentine body are executed in neatly incised lines and the underside with fine curved lines, creating a naturalistic and anatomically correct representation of the reptile. The snake has a swollen section next to its head, indicating it has just enjoyed a meal. Natural himotoshi. LENGTH 4.1 cm Condition: Very good condition, one of the inlaid pupils is replaced. Provenance: British collection.
