Description

A VERY RARE WOOD NETSUKE OF A SINIU

Unsigned
Japan, 18th century, Edo period (1615-1868)

Boldly carved as a youthful, recumbent siniu with the comically small legs drawn in and long neck raised high. Rather unusually, this mythical animal is sporting a set of antlers rather than horns. Generously excavated, asymmetrical himotoshi to the side and underside.

HEIGHT 6 cm

Condition: Good condition with expected surface wear, small nicks, and light scratches.

The siniu (Chinese xiniu) is a goat-like creature with horns, often regarded as one of the varied types of kirin. The present netsuke appears to be a variation of this subject, recorded in the Soken Kisho.

Auction comparison:
The present subject is very rare in wood and much more commonly seen carved from antler or ivory and invariably of seal-type. Compare a related ivory seal netsuke of a siniu, also with antlers, dated to the late 18th century, 6.8 cm high, at Christie’s, Japanese Ceramics & Works of Art, 8 November 2007, London, lot 7 (sold for GBP 6,875).
