AN UNUSUAL JAPANESE MINIATURE TWO-CASE LACQUER INRO MEIJI PERIOD OR LATER, 19TH CENTURY OR LATER The delicate body rendered in gold and red hiramaki-e, kirikane and takamaki-e on the nashiji ground and with inlays in aogai (abalone shell); decorated to one side with a taiko drum amongst falling maple leaves and the reverse with a torikabuto, an elaborate headdress with long tassels, also surrounded by autumn leaves; suspended on a silk cord and with a small coral ojime, 4.5cm. (3) The torikabuto is an elaborate hat inspired by the crownlike head of the mythical phoenix. This headdress and the taiko drum were used for gagaku, the traditional Imperial music and dance performance. The unusually small size of this inro may indicate that it was made for a child to wear on a special occasion, possibly for the Hanamatsuri or Kodomo no Hi festivals. Also, see A S Pate, Ningyo, The Art of the Japanese Doll, pp.60-61 for a mitate gosho-ningyo doll wearing an inro of similar size.
ROBERTSON GOLLY COLLECTOR'S BADGES - approximately 90, mainly reproduction but including some stamped 'GOMM Birmingham' and 'F & S' including a cased 1985 set of six Special Edition 1940 Brooch CollectionN.B. Originally handmade by mothers in Africa for their children from old fabric and cloth, the golly doll was adopted as the mascot and trademark for the Robertson's confectionery brand around 1910 after the company's founder John Robertson visited the US and noticed children playing with them. Robertson's Gollies have been collected by people across the UK and around the world for generations but garnered a contentious image in the 1980s. The trademark was removed from Robertson's branding in 2001. These items are listed on the basis they are illustrative of a by-gone culture, but we believe that providing transparent information about historical context fosters greater understanding of our complex cultural history.
