Katabori Netsuke.  A Cowherd with wife and cow at  rest
A signed, tinted ivory kataborinetsuke from the late Edo period (early 19th C.). A triangular composition on a pierced oval pedestal depicting a cowherd resting on the back of a napping cow, it’s head towards the ground, his wife at rest on the ground next to them. Height: 1-1/2” (3.7cm). From the Alfred Honigbaum (d. 1939) collection of Asian art. Please note: Because of CITES restrictions we cannot ship ivory netsuke outside of the United States.
