"Inro Style Soma-da. Decor Of The 8 Mother-of-pearl Horses On A Dark Brown Urushi Background. Collection Dr Mene"

Inro with 3 compartments in very dark reddish-brown lacquer. Decor of 8 horses from Chinese mythology cut out of mother-of-pearl and embedded in urushi. The Soma-Da school invented this style at the beginning of the 18th century. The color of the lacquer and the energetic design of the horses lead us to date this inro to the end of the 18th century. Below is glued a label referring to the prestigious collection of Doctor Mène which was dispersed in 1913 in Paris. This collection created around 1880 contained only exceptional objects. It must be possible to check in the catalogs of the sale.
