Set Of 3 Netsuke Starting Bid

Dive into the heart of Japanese tradition with this exquisite set of three netsuke, each a masterful
representation of mythical power and grace. Netsuke are small, intricately carved sculptures from Japan, originally used as toggles to secure the small personal pouches or cases (sagemono) that hung from the sash (obi) of a kimono, which lacks pockets. They were an essential part of traditional Japanese dress beginning from the Edo period (1603-1868) onwards.

Pieces include: The Majestic Tiger - Embodying strength and courage, this intricately carved tiger netsuke is a symbol of protection and good fortune. Its lifelike details and poised stance make it a stunning piece to behold, showcasing the skillful blend of art and nature. The Guardian Foo Dog - Stand guard with the mystical Foo Dog, a protector against evil spirits. This netsuke captures the spirit of the mythical creature with its fierce expression and detailed mane. A symbol of security and energy, it is an essential piece for those who cherish ancient guardianship tales. The Mystical Dragon - Soar with the dragon, the most revered creature in Japanese folklore, representing wisdom, power, and wealth. This collection is perfect for aficionados of Japanese art and culture, offering a glimpse into the mystical world of ancient legends.
