Jurojin and Deer Okimono

This 19th century Carved okimono is the Lucky God Jurojin, one of the Seven Gods of Luck. He is holding a staff, wearing the robes of a scholar, a Shinto style head-dress, and accompanied by a deer. An exceptionally well carved representation of the incarnation of the Star God of Longevity. who is widely worshipped in Japan for his role in administering the span of life on earth, and the patron of scholarly success.

This relatively early legendary deity is carved with finer lines than that of most early 19th century okimono. It is scrimshawed with meticulous details, combined with an exceptionally virile composition, lively carved in a naturalistic pose. The features are sharply observed, with the tight flow of lines artfully sweeping in force. The carving is stained in cream gold, with few small defects except the meticulously restored flower atop of the staff; the okimono remains superb carving which could hardly be improved upon.
