AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Here is an exceptional lot of two Sosaku Kokeshi signed Higashiyama.
The first is signed Higashiyama under the base. This piece depicts a scene of affection: a mother carrying her baby on her back. The mother's body is crossed by a wide dark scarf draped, finely carved in relief with chrysanthemum motifs (kiku).
She rests on her original black base, softly and symbolically representing motherhood.
Dimensions: H 19 x D 10.5 cm
The second Kokeshi is also crafted by Higashiyama. The body is adorned at the center with black underlines underscored by a gold rim, evoking in sobriety the folds of a kimono or the obi belt.
She forms a very beautiful duo with the first Kokeshi by the same master. While the first is more sculpted and figurative, this one embodies Higashiyama's work's more minimalist and timeless side.
Dimensions: H 20.5 x D 6.5 cm
The Kokeshi are now true collectible pieces.
Please consult the photos for more details.
Fast and careful shipping.
