Description
Netsuke carved out of light colored buffalo horn with darker central part, and representing stylized Fukura Suzume (tongue-cut sparrow). Excellent design, the bird looking straight with somewhat pensive expression, wings are spread and the tail is erect, eyes are inlaid with black horn. One himotoshi is lined with mother of pearl. Lighter colored tip of its right wing is not a repair, but an original feature of the piece. Signed MHB on inlaid solid gold plaque - Michael Henry Birch (1926-2008) was one of the best 20th century netsuke carvers. Wing span 2.24 inches.
