Group of Four Japanese Wood Netsukes

Offered by: Tishu

Description
A group of four Japanese Netsukes of various form carved out of the wood and finished in a dark stain, all four appear signed by the same artist Yoshitoshi? (a little hard to decipher the signature for certain); and they are likely dated to early 20th century, circa 1910-20s. One depicts a toad with fine details. One pig with a large snout, one crouched Qilin, a mythical animal similar to unicorn in the western culture; and one skull with a crawling snake. Three were signed with an inset plaque and the last one with carved signature, all as shown. The largest is about 2" in size. Sold as a set but possible to purchase individual ones.
