A damsel fly rests on a reed above quiet, reflective water and is unaware of the frog floating nearby. The chatoyance of this piece of boxwood suggests a glimmer of light reflected from the surface of the water. This netsuke is in a private collection and was presented in a 1997 exhibit at the Bowers Museum, Santa Ana, California: Miniature Sculpture from Japan and Beyond. It is also included on the CD: "Contemporary Netsuke, Miniature Sculpture From Japan and Beyond". Dimensions: 1.75 x 2 x 1 inches 4.4 x 5.0 x 2.6 cm |
