As part of our Japanese works of art collection we are delighted to offer this late Edo 1615-1868 early Meiji period 1868-1912 , circa 1860 , stained Boxwood Netsuke , the unusual subject depicts a seated Fox dressed in a Priests or Monks Robe , the Fox with his mouth wide open as if chanting a Sutra (religious teaching) , the artist has carved the Fox’s Head and in particular his Fur in superb detail , his eyes inset with two colour Horn, the Himotoshi formed at the rear of the animals cloak , a fascinating and unusual study for the Japanese Netsuke collectors amongst you , and in our opinion a fine addition to your Netsuke or  Japanese Works of art collection .
