A RARE STAG ANTLER 'SILK SEAL' TYPE NETSUKE OF A FOREIGNER Japan, late 17th - early 18th century, Edo period (1615-1868)Carved in the shape of a monstrous head with an elaborately crafted collar. The antler bearing a beautiful patina. Large himotoshi. The underside of the seal is unengraved.HEIGHT 4.5 cmCondition: Excellent condition with 'natural flaws' to the material.Provenance: French 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 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.
