A RARE METAL-INLAID UMIMATSU NETSUKE DEPICTING BUDDHA AMITABHA WITHIN A GROTTOUnsignedJapan, 19th centuryFinely carved from a thumb-size piece of black coral (umimatsu), a central section excavated to house the patinated copper figure of Buddha Amitabha, seated in dhyanasana atop a lotus pedestal with his hands resting in dhyana mudra. Two himotoshi to the back. The umimatsu has an attractive grain with fine reddish inclusions.HEIGHT 4.4 cmCondition: Very good condition with minor wear and natural flaws.Umimatsu (lit. 'sea pine'), commonly known as black coral, is a soft deep-water coral. Many patterns of growth are unique to black coral, growing in whips, trees, fans, or coils, and their size ranges from 10 to 300 cm. While it is commonly used in various forms of jewelry in Japanese art, it is also believed to have apotropaic power and is for this reason used in various medical treatments as well.The tradition of carving the image of Buddha in stone into cliff walls and natural caves began in India, where they carved out their gods from the rocks. This practice was transferred to China and then Korea and became a common icon of Buddhist hermitages across the far east. These grottos were key sites for pilgrimage for the devote followers of the Buddha.
