Thank you for viewing. This is a New Year's sale item, and I hope to sell it to someone who will cherish it. *Please refrain from purchasing if you intend to resell. Product Description The teeth and fangs are emphasized, creating a wild and powerful form. The front teeth and fangs are left in three dimensions, and the actual animal bone is processed as is. Function There is a "hole" in the center of the back, which is a stringing hole (netsuke hole). It is made to be connected to an inro or a drawstring bag by passing a string through it. It has a sense of power and a talismanic meaning, and the design that makes use of the animal's fangs is popular with collectors. Period: Thought to be made from the late Edo period to the Meiji period. Rarity: Netsuke using animal fangs are relatively rare, and those with motifs of animal fangs and heads are especially prized. Condition: There is a natural color change over time (ambering), and there is a feeling of use as a netsuke, but there are some missing fangs, but the design is still good. This is a first-time release from the warehouse, and it is a valuable item with antique and antique value. It is also ideal for a deep collection.
