A SUPERB WOOD OKIMONO OF A SKULLJapan, late 19th century, Meiji period (1868-1912)A superbly carved and anatomically correct representation of a human skull – a symbol of mortality. The precisely carved skull has large, cavernous eyes, a realistically carved nose with visible structures inside and minutely carved rows of teeth. The surface of the skull is masterfully stippled to resemble the heterogenous structure of the cranium. The skull has been evidently lying around for some time as a few teeth are missing.LENGTH 6.3 cmCondition: Good condition, little wear, a minuscule chip to the base.Provenance: European collection.
