拍品描述
A SUPERB STAG ANTLER NETSUKE OF EDAMAME BEAN-PODS
Unsigned
Japan, 19th century

Finely carved from a branch section of purely white antler, much of the natural orientation dictating the shape of the netsuke. Depicted is a group of overlapping edamame bean pods with subtly carved undulations to indicate the beans within. Two ends of the netsuke with stag antler plugs. One side with two generously excavated himotoshi.

The stag antler is of a deceivingly pure color and quality, the material revealed only by the two plugs and small areas of natural imperfections.

LENGTH 5.6 cm

Condition: Very good condition, minor wear, few light surface scratches.
Provenance: Old Dutch private collection. Collection Prof. Dr. Henk C. Hoogsteden, Rotterdam, acquired from the above.

Edamame literally means stem beans because the soybeans were boiled while still attached to the stem. Legumes such as beans (mame) and peas (endo) symbolize female fertility in East Asia. The fruits that appear in the swelling of the pod are considered to be the unborn child in the womb. Mame, written with different characters, also means health and efficiency. Bean netsuke were therefore worn as a talisman.
