A Chinese carved brown and grey soapstone "Sennin" netsuke 中國壽山石“仙人”根付 18th/ early 19th century ????????

The bearded bald figure standing at attention, leaning on a staff, wearing flowing robes and a leafy skirt and cape, irregular himotoshi, later brocade box

H: 3 3/4 in.

PROVENANCE:

Property of a Private Collection, New Jersey

NOTE: in the 18th and early 19th century, it was not unusual for small Chinese works of art and seals to be appropriated as netsuke, the small counterweights to keep inro and tobacco pouches from slipping through a sash. Given that the leafy cape and skirt of the hermit-like Sennin (Chinese "Xianren"), are more typically found in Japanese decorative arts, it is possible this example was made for export to Japan.

註：

十八至於十九世紀，精巧的中國器物常被用作日本根付，拴在腰間以防止印籠或煙草袋掉落。而“仙人”題材更是喜聞樂見，故該品很可能為中國出口至日本。
