Description

MASANAO: A MASTERFUL EBONY WOOD NETSUKE OF A RECUMBENT COW WITH CALF

By a member of the Masanao family, signed Masanao 正直
Japan, Yamada, Ise province, first half of 19th century, Edo period (1615-1868)

A large and powerful, yet remarkably delicate ebony wood netsuke depicting a recumbent cow with her head raised, the face with a sensitively crafted expression, as her calf mischievously attempts to clamber atop her back, her flattened ears revealing her discomfort. The hairwork of the mother is neatly incised and the ridged spine and ribs are subtly expressed; the calf has no fur markings but is smoothly polished revealing the wood grain and providing an appealing contrast to the mother. The curved horns as well as the folds to the skin are achieved with exceptional detail. The eyes of the cow are double inlaid in pale and dark horn. The underside shows the well-carved hooves, as well as the himotoshi, and the signature within a polished oval reserve MASANAO – considering the remarkable power of the carving, this is likely by an early member of the famous family.

LENGTH 4.8 cm

Condition: Excellent condition.
Provenance: Ex-collection H. I. H. Princess Takamado.

Literature comparison:
The choice of material is quite unusual for Masanao. The only other recorded ebony ox was sold at Sotheby’s, The Swedlow Collection of Inro, Lacquer, Netsuke and Ojime, 31 March 1993, London, lot 73.
