拍品描述
AN EXCEPTIONALLY RARE AND LARGE SOLID CORAL NETSUKE OF GAMA SENNIN
Unsigned
Japan, 19th century, Edo period (1615-1868)

Carved from a large and heavy branch of bright-red coral and depicting Gama Sennin, bent forwards following the natural orientation of the material, and holding a large pot, a huge toad clambering on his back. Gama’s eyes are double inlays of bone and dark horn, and the eyes of the toad are inlaid in gold with dark horn pupils. This quite spectacular carving is of a somewhat grotesque nature, certainly helped by the peculiar and porous surface of the coral which the carver has utilized very skillfully. Himotoshi through the back.

HEIGHT 11.5 cm

Condition: Excellent condition with natural flaws to the material.
Provenance: The Gabor Wilhelm Collection, Paris.

A coral netsuke of this size has to be considered extremely rare.

Literature comparison:
A related coral netsuke depicting Tekkai Sennin is in the Linden Museum Stuttgart, inventory number OA 18599.
