About this Item
A wood and shibayama manju netsuke, late 19th century
in the form of a lenticular round case, the cover carved with a house in a landscape, the moon, birds and shoji inlaid with mother-of-pearl, the reverse with foliate motifs, with mid-brown patina, 3,5 cm diameter
Notes
The manju takes it name from a Japanese bun, for that is its shape. Some are in one piece but the majority are in two halves, slightly hollow inside to take the cord and with room to carry charms or tiny objects.Other lots that might interest you
