| A pair of natural root carvings of geese in a dark red wood, one looking toward the viewer, the other gazing up at the moon. The bodies are fomed of natural root-wood, with the head carved with eyes and bill, feet inset with some type of pitch mortar. They are in overall fine condition, the taller stands 8-1/2 inches (21.5 cm) high. This is from a collection of scholar items we are currently offering from the estate of a Kyoto family involved in literati and art movements from the later Edo period on. | |||||||||||||
