A RARE TALL WOOD NETSUKE OF A CHILDREN'S ENTERTAINER WITH HORSE PUPPET
Unsigned
Japan, late 18th to early 19th century, Edo period (1615-1868)
A rare wood netsuke of a children's entertainer wearing a hand puppet of a horse over one hand and scratching his head with the other. He has a round face with sensitively crafted, slightly feminine facial features - his expression is an enigmatic mixture of bewilderment and excitement. He is wearing a headcloth tied below his chin and his flowing robes are carved beautifully. Excellent himotoshi in the back, one of them formed naturally by the sleeve of the hand puppet.
HEIGHT 8.3 cm
Condition: Very good condition.
Provenance: German private collection, old collection no. 410 inside the himotoshi.
