Description
19th century boxwood netsuke carved as a sitting man plucking the hair on his chin with a clam shell. The netsuke is shunga (erotic piece) with obvious erotic connotation of an open clam. Wonderful carving of his face with perfectly captured expression of slight pain. Beautiful flow to his robe, nicely incised textile patterns (different on kimono and vest), well made differently sized himotoshi. Superb quality material, wonderful patina with excellent sheen to the surface. Height 1 1/2 inches.
