Description from the seller
Carved Natural Agate Ornament with Traditional Pouch - "Source of Life" (Fertility Symbol) - Shunga
Description:
[Object Description]
This lot features a realistically carved Natural Agate ornament depicting the "Source of Life" (Female Genitalia / Vulva), accompanied by a beautiful traditional Japanese cloth pouch.
[Highlights]
Shunga / Erotic Art: In Japanese and Asian traditions, such items are deeply cherished as auspicious symbols of fertility, safe childbirth, and the prosperity of descendants.
Striking Natural Beauty: The artist has masterfully utilized the natural characteristics of the agate stone. The contrast between the unpolished, raw, textured edge of the rough stone and the smoothly polished, deep red carving creates an incredibly striking and organic aesthetic.
Usage & Accessories: It comes with an elegant braided cord, allowing it to be used as a "Sagemono" (hanging object), a large Netsuke, or a striking display piece. Furthermore, this set includes a beautifully patterned traditional cloth pouch, perfect for safe storage or presentation.
