Description from the seller
An ivory netsuke depicting a crouching monkey, with horn-inlaid eyes, shown grasping the persimmon hanging from a branch.
Incised signature, within a reserve.
Netsuke, composed of the kanji ne (根), meaning "root," and tsuke (付け), meaning "to attach," are small Japanese sculptures originally used as fasteners to secure objects to the sashes of kimono (obi 帯). From the late 19th century they became highly collectible in Europe and America, admired for the variety of subjects, the fine details, the patina and their strong tactile appeal.
The netsuke is in very good condition. Please refer to the pictures for further details.
