拍品描述
AN AMUSING EDO SCHOOL WOOD NETSUKE OF A MOXA CONTORTIONIST
Unsigned
Japan, Edo (Tokyo), first half of 19th century, Edo period (1615-1868)

An amusingly crafted wood netsuke of a contorted man lying on his back, crossing his arms and legs, one foot touching a straw basket which he wears as a hat. The man is visibly in pain, his face twisted in a grimace. The cause is quickly revealed when turning the netsuke as six moxa pellets are inlaid in dark horn to his back. Natural himotoshi. The wood bearing a good patina.

LENGTH 3 cm

Condition: Very good condition with minor typical surface wear.
Provenance: From the collection of Gaston Lazard (1878-1956) and his wife Jane Levy (1886-1985) and thence by descent within the same family.

Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese medicine therapy used to heat particular points of the body by using burning dried mugwort.

Museum comparison:
Compare to an ivory netsuke depicting the same subject in the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), accession number M.91.250.130.
