A wood netsuke of a tigress
By Kogetsu. Early 19th century. Seated with her long tail curled around the rear leg and passing under the body, the hair-work is deeply cut and traversed by the stripes carved in ukibori, the head is turned left with the mouth in a snarl revealing the teeth and huge bushy eyebrows. Signed on the right haunch in a jagged irregular reserve, Kogetsu. 1in (2.6cm).
