拍品描述

Ɏ A GOOD IVORY NETSUKE OF A DOG WITH A BALL Unsigned Japan, 18th century, Edo period (1615-1868) Charmingly carved as a seated dog with long, slender limbs, one foreleg resting atop a small ball, the head turned slightly to the side. The animal bears a highly amusing, almost startled expression, with wide-open eyes and bared teeth, further animated by the short snout and rounded ears. The elongated body forms a compact and well-balanced composition. The smoothly polished ivory displays an attractive warm honey tone to the reverse. Deeply excavated himotoshi through the body.
