Netsuke – Old Seal Netsuke

Sold

An old seal that has been converted to form as a functional netsuke, traces of red ink still visible around the legs and hind of the Ox. Depicted, a recumbent Ox sits upon the seal with its legs, head and tail all tucked in a meeting in the centre of the composition. A very functional and interesting netsuke that appears to have significant age, I have dated it to the 18th century but it could well be much older. 

Unsigned

4.5cm

18th Century.
