SHOKIN: A WOOD NETSUKE OF THREE TURTLES IN A PYRAMID

By Shokin, signed Shokin 松琴
Japan, 19th century

Of compact form and finely carved as a mother turtle with two young clambering on top of her shell and each other, the carapaces neatly incised, the eyes inlaid with dark horn. The mother has almost entirely retreated into her shell as her young attempt to climb over each other to get to the top where the sun is the strongest and to enjoy a healthy sunbathing. The turtles’ limbs are stained dark while their heads and carapaces are of a reddish brown, creating a striking contrast that is complemented by the different textures. Several natural himotoshi due to the openwork. The underside signed in an oblong reserve SHOKIN.

LENGTH 4 cm

Condition: Very good condition with minor wear, the underside with remnants of wax or adhesive, one eye inlay lost.
Provenance: A noted private collection in California, USA.
