A VERY RARE HAMANO SCHOOL SHIBUICHI AND GOLD HAKO NETSUKE OF TWO MONKEYS Unsigned Japan, 19th century, Edo period (1615-1868) Made from shibuichi of a high silver content and depicting a monkey delousing another monkey. The fur is finely incised, and their expressions are amusing, the eyes inlaid in gold. The netsuke has a hidden mechanism, effectively making it a hako (box) netsuke – when pulling the two monkeys gently apart, an opening is revealed, which shows fine gilding. The underside shows the wellcarved paws and the himotoshi. HEIGHT 3.9 cm WEIGHT 70 g Condition: Excellent condition. Provenance: European collection. Literature comparison: An older model, signed Hamano Noriyuki, is illustrated in the Journal of The International Netsuke Collectors Society, Vol. 3, no. 1, May 1975, p. 31, no. 75.
