拍品描述
AN IVORY NETSUKE OF A MONKEY, CRAB AND LOTUS

Unsigned
Japan, Tokyo, late 19th century

The two arch enemies locked into combat, the monkey pulling on the legs of the crab, which hides underneath a furled lotus leaf, while one of the crab’s pincers pierces through the leaf, pinching the monkey into its extended hindleg while the simian yelps out in pain. The details are finely carved and the ivory is attractively stained. The cord channel runs through underneath the crab’s legs into a generously excavated singular himotoshi.

LENGTH 4.4 cm

Condition: Excellent condition, minor 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.

The present netsuke is a reference to the story of ‘The Crab and the Monkey’, in which a sly monkey kills a crab, and is later killed in revenge by the crab's offspring.
