Item details

Inro with Makie Decoration of Ox and Figures, Netsuke with Tiger

This is a three-section inro intricately decorated with gold makie depicting an ox and figures, accompanied by a tiger-shaped netsuke. The bottom of the netsuke bears a signature, though it is illegible. The shape is a round three-section, with decoration technique in gold makie, featuring a pattern of an ox and figures, and an accessory of a tiger-shaped netsuke, with a diameter of approximately 7 cm. The pattern depicts a herdboy playing a flute (or standing) on the back of an ox. The technique involves gold makie with fine gold powder applied to the surface, crafted with luxurious precision. The composition shows the herdboy sitting relaxed beside the ox under a large willow tree. The condition is such that the gradient effect of the gold makie, the black texture of the ox, and the details of the figures are all preserved in perfect condition.
