Lot 2230 | Bedeutendes Netsuke eines zusammengerollten Drachen
Japan. Edo-Zeit. 19. Jahrhundert

Elfenbein, sehr fein geschnitzt und Details dunkel akzentuiert, Augen eingelegt aus dunklem Horn und mit glänzender Patina. Eng zusammengerollt und in sich verschlungen, die drei-klauigen Füße eng an den schuppigen Leib gelegt. Seine kurzen Hörner und die langen Haaren schmiegen sich in gleicher Weise harmonisch an die kompakte Form. Das bärtige Maul ist leicht geöffnet und den Blick nach oben gerichtet.

Der Drache ist das fünfte Tier des japanischen Tierkreiszeichen und zugleich eines der Vier Mythischen Wesen. Obgleich sich das lange, mächtige Tier eng zusammengerollt hat, vermochte es der Schnitzer sehr gekonnt den Drachen überaus kraftvoll und majestätisch erscheinen zu lassen. Das Tier mit seinem schlangenähnlichen Körper ist lebendig dargestellt. Gesicht und insbesondere die Augen sind in besonderem Maße ausdrucksstark gestaltet. Höhe 2,6cm, Breite 4,8cm. Signatur: Kagetoshi, in rechteckiger Reserve. Künstler aus Nagoya, vgl. LA S. 554-6. Zustand A/B.
Provenienz:
-Niederländische Privatsammlung, erworben von Denise Cohen, New York
