Ancestor Mummy. Netsuke (Summer 2017)

A fragile stature of dried skin over bone, with curved fingertips and feet, frozen in the helpless pose of the moment of death ages ago. No burial or cremation wiped it out of this world, but its meager remains were preserved by mummification.

Material: Old, blond Asian hardwood.

Marked with a Monogram of T and H in golden Urushi lacquer.

Measurements: 2.60 x 1.06 x 1.08 inch ( 6,6 x 2,7 x 2,75 cm.)
