Toba (Soshi) was a 11th century Chinese statesman, calligrapher and poet of the Song Dynasty. Accused of intrigue by the emperor he went into exile. Hence he exemplifies the free spirit of a wise man. As in this Meiji Period ivory netsuke, Toba is wandering on a horse. A highly stylized outstanding prototype. The details over the face of Toba is remarkably expressive. The acute gesture of his finely detailed hands that hold the rope to the horse high-lighted the docile animal with great charm. Its fine artistry shows in the deeply carved parallel horse hairlines and intricate scrimshaw work. The netsuke is in perfect condition, it has a beautiful cream patina which comes only with age.
