Antique Netsuke: Colorfully Painted Figure with Natural Materials - 【Fisherman and Catch】 This piece is unrefined and simple, but it effectively captures the strength of the common people of the Edo period. The carving of the fish scales and fins expresses a lively feel, conveying the dynamism of a fresh catch. ・Height: Approximately 5.2cm ・Width: Approximately 3.2cm ・Depth: Approximately 2.8cm ・Weight: Approximately 22g ・Cord Hole: Located on the back ・Signature: None (unsigned) ・Material: Natural material ・Condition: There are scratches, color fading, and light dust stains due to years of use. Although not very noticeable in the images, there are color irregularities in the painted areas, thin hairline cracks, and traces of what appears to be paper glued on over time. ※Color irregularities are present on the front, in the kimono area above the fish's tail fin. The thin hairline crack is located about 3-4mm to the right of the aforementioned color irregularity and is very thin, extending vertically. It is not a widening crack and is very thin, so it is not considered to be a structural issue. The remnants of what appears to be paper glued on in the past are visible on the lower back, on the left side, where the color of the kimono appears slightly whitish, immediately to the right of the area where the color has faded due to wear and tear, revealing the material's color. It can be removed by gently rubbing with a fingernail, but we will leave it as is to avoid damaging the painted areas. (If examined more closely, there may be age-related scratches, discoloration, and color fading, but we ask for your understanding as these are part of the character of the piece.) ・Other: Stands stably on its own. For details, please carefully examine the images in addition to the above description, as we may have overlooked something. We appreciate your consideration. (The ruler is not included.)
