Japan, early 19th century Formed as two tsuba partially overlapping one another and finely incised with floral décor in low relief. The himotoshi are cleverly integrated into the design, the cord channel running rather naturally through the nakago-ana and one hitsu-ana. LENGTH 5.5 cm Condition: Very good condition with surface wear. Provenance: European collection. Auction comparison: Tsuba are rarely seen as a subject in netsuke art. For similar examples see Bonhams, The Edward Wrangham Collection of Japanese Art Part I, 9 November 2010, London, lot 169, (sold for 1,800 GBP) and Zacke, Fine Netsuke, Sagemono & Okimono, 2 November 2019, Vienna, lot 229 (sold for 1,137 EUR).
