Description

  • 7cm., 2 3/4 in.
the former recumbent on a rectangular base, looking to the left while four pups clamber around her flanks, on a large base, the wood is somewhat worn and bears as good patina, signed Matsuda Sukenaga

Catalogue Note

The work and the wear to the wood suggests that the original carving may have been done in the 18th century and that Sukenaga may have recarved certain parts.
