Wood - A pair of carved wood seated cats with curled...

A pair of wooden sculptures depicting two seated cats, rendered with soft forms and with their tails elegantly wrapped along their bodies. The faces, with half-closed eyes, display a serene, almost smiling expression, emphasized by fine incisions defining the whiskers and features. The patina, enriched with warm reddish tones, enhances the forms and gives depth to the surface. Okimono (置物), combining the kanji "oki" (置き, to place) and "mono" (物, object), refers to a decorative object meant for display. Okimono, popular in the Meiji period (1868 - 1912), were finely crafted sculptures made from materials such as ivory, boxwood, wood, and bronze. ---The okimono is in good condition.
