A charming ivory netsuke carved as a stag, its legs tucked beneath him. The stag’s neck and finely-textured antlers are tilted upwards, his body softly modeled. (The deer (stag) in Japanese art is associated with immortality, and is noted as the attribute of the household gods Fukurokuju and Jurojin. In addition, for many centuries, deer antlers were identified with family crests (mon). Very good condition with only a minor old hairline across the back, commensurate with age and wear.
