IVORY NETSUKE OF A HUNGRY WOLF WITH LOQUATS
A rare netsuke of a wolf, with a crazed expression, the eyes inlaid with red horn and the mouth opened with its tongue stretched out and revealing its sharp teeth, as it craves for something edible. The wolf has its paws on a branch of loquats with the leaf going up his side, however this will probably not sate his hunger. The emaciated wolf’s body has quite angular proportions and the spine is very sharp leading to the bushy tail, which curls up under the body and over to the side. Very good patina; natural himotoshi.
