STAG ANTLER AND COPPER-BRONZE NETSUKE OF THREE MONKEYS

A grown monkey and two young, the group entirely made from copper bronze set in a lobed stag antler base. The fur is finely incised, the mother is holding a peach in one hand, while the two young monkeys are struggling to reach it. The irregularly contoured base shows in part bold structures, with large himotoshi on the underside, one mounted in silver with floral decoration. Signed TOMOHIDE on a small, silver-inlaid plate.
