Netsuke are miniature sculptures that began as a popular art form in 17th century Japan and evolved to collectible objets d'art today. Originally developed to suspend a purse or tobacco pouch from the kimono sash, the netsuke is carved with two holes in the bottom to receive the cord. Animal subjects like these were prevalent during netsuke's golden age during the first half of the 19th century. Handcarved of tagua nuts from the elephant palm, the rabbit stands 1 1/2" tall.
