? A RARE ANTLER ‘SILK SEAL’ TYPE NETSUKE OF A FOREIGNER

Unsigned
Japan, late 17th to early 18th century, Edo period (1615-1868)

Carved from a section of antler near the coronet, depicting an enraged foreigner, leaning forward as he expresses his displeasure, cleverly modeled to follow the natural curvature of the material. Dressed in a finely incised collar and elaborate ruff, the face with a grotesque, grim expression, all above an openworked structure, the underside with a long cut seal. Several natural openings for the cord attachment. The antler bearing a beautiful patina.

HEIGHT 4 cm

Condition: Excellent condition with expected wear and natural flaws to the material.

During the Muromachi, Momoyama, and Edo periods, Japan imported large quantities of raw silk from China through the port of Nagasaki. The Chinese merchants attached metal seals known as itoin (literally, ‘fiber seals’) to their shipments where they were used to verify a transaction and subsequently returned to China. During the Edo period internal silk shipments were identified by seals which were modeled after the Chinese itoin, though instead of metal, stag antler was the preferred medium. This distinct type is commonly known as a ‘silk seal’.
