Netsuke – Large Shishi

Sold

A large shishi resting its front paws and upper body on top of a ball, an additional small ball is loose within its mouth, eyes inlaid. Its fat body, which is as wide as it is tall and with a nice patina, makes for a really nice netsuke to handle. The himotoshi is formed from a larger hole in the ball and a smaller hole that has been ringed with the animal's hair.
