HAND CARVED PI XUI BOXWOOD NETSUKE

Regretably I am selling off my Tibetan and oriental collection. This will be one of my last auctions.

Netsuke are intricate carvings that served as clothing toggles in Japan for over 300 years, for functional and aesthetic purposes. Kimono had no pockets so men held their tobacco pouches etc. on a silk cord from their obi (sash). The netsuke slid onto the cord and secured it in the obi. Netsuke have become an art form and highly collectible worldwide. Many of today's netsuke artists were apprenticed to great carvers and the skill & intricacy of their carving is highly prized.

Pixiu is believed to be a particularly influential and auspicious creature for wealth.

This beautifully hand-carved netsuke makes a valuable founding piece or addition to any netsuke collection. IT HAS AN ARTIST'S SIGNATURE ON THE BASE WHICH ADDS TO IT'S VALUE.

Intricately carved out of hardwood in fantastic detail adds to it’s appeal and ultimate value.

Whilst I am not qualified to assay collectibles and antiques, all descriptions are accurate & given by the original collector in the respective country of origin. Please read all info and view the images before bidding on an item. However, in the extremely unlikely event that you are not satisfied, please email me and let’s solve any issues before posting a negative rating. HAPPY BIDDING!
