Lot 585: Two Japanese Style Carved Dragon Netsuke Toggles
Two carved dragon toggles in the style of Japanese netsuke. The first is rendered in a medium-toned wood, likely boxwood, featuring detailed scale work and dark inlaid eyes. Its flat base features two himotoshi cord holes and an incised mark consisting of a vertical stroke and a cross symbol. The second toggle is carved from a cream-coloured material, potentially tagua nut or vegetable ivory, featuring an incised mark reading NUT on the base near a central circular aperture. Both pieces exhibit detailed relief carving and show surface wear and a light patina consistent with handling.
