Object description :

"Netsuke - Guan Yu - Masatomo - Ivoiry - Japan - Edo Period"
Ivory netsuke featuring Guan Yu ( or Kwan yu ), mythical Chinese general during the Three Kingdoms who was later deified as a god of war.
Very popular in Japan, he is depicted here with his characteristic iconographic elements, namely his halberd ( or guan dao ) and his long beard, which he twirls.

Japan, Edo period (1603-1868) / Early 19th century.

Good condition, superb patina. Signed “Masatomo” in a cartouche on the reverse.
Note the fine facial features, the drapery and its motifs; and the gilt bronze inlays on the tiara and in the dragon's eye on the guan dao blade.
Very slight wear on the edge of the dress below the cartouche.
