A RARE STAG ANTLER SILK SEAL NETSUKE UnsignedJapan, late 17th – early 18th century, Edo period (1615-1868)The seal surmounted by an expressively carved and monstrous head of a foreigner with an elaborately carved ruff above an open-worked structure, the underside with a long cut seal. The antler bearing a beautiful patina. Several natural openings for the cord attachment.HEIGHT 4.5 cmCondition: Excellent condition with ‘natural flaws’ to the material.Provenance: US private collection.During the Muromachi, Momoyama, and Edo periods Japan imported large quantities of raw silk from China through the port of Nagasaki. The Chinese merchants attached metal seals known as itoin (literally, ‘fiber seals’) to their shipments where they were used to verify a transaction and then subsequently returned to China. During the Edo period internal silk shipments were identified by seals which were modelled after the Chinese itoin, though instead of metal, stag antler was the preferred medium. This distinct type is commonly known as a ‘silk seal’.Literature comparison:For a discussion of this type and for similar examples see Bushell, Raymond (1975) Netsuke Familiar & Unfamiliar, pp. 204-205.
