Description

This is a copper men-netsuke (mask netsuke) created as a traditional Japanese sagemono hanging ornament.

The piece features a smiling human mask motif with a rounded form and gentle facial expression, giving it a warm and charming appearance.

The surface shows a rich aged patina developed over time, allowing the viewer to appreciate its subdued metallic luster and tasteful antique character.

Although compact in size, it has a strong presence and can be enjoyed not only as a netsuke or sagemono, but also as a collectible object of Japanese art and craftsmanship.

The material does not react to a magnet and is therefore considered to be copper.

A storage box is included.
