Ko Kinko Long-Eared Hare Menuki

These loveable little Kokinko menuki are made of yamagane with a nice brown patina.    The backs are not shown as they are filled-flush with a mix of pitch (Kusune) and a metallic substance akin to solder.   Good depth of execution and well-carved features.  The little guys are too cute to pass-up, so go-on, give them a home before Elmer Fudd finds them!

Maximum dimensions  4.5cm x 1.3cm.   

Late Muromachi period (16th c.)
