Gooseneck Gourd, Mid-19th century: A Timeless Masterpiece by Ohara Mitsuhiro (1850s, Japan) This exquisite Gooseneck Gourd, dating back to the mid-19th century, is a testament to the artistic prowess of Ohara Mitsuhiro, a renowned Japanese carver of the time. The gourd, shaped like a goose with its distinctive curved neck, is intricately hand-carved from ivory with light staining sumi. The artist's deft touch is evident in the smooth, plain surface of the gourd, which showcases the natural beauty of the material. The gourd's body is adorned with intricate carvings of birds, adding to its visual appeal. The birds, with their delicate wings and beaks, are arranged in a way that suggests a flock taking flight, creating a sense of movement and dynamism. The goose at the center, with its regal posture and piercing gaze, serves as the focal point of the piece. This Gooseneck Gourd is a prime example of the rich heritage of Japanese handicrafts and the importance of accessories and clothing in Japanese culture during the 19th century. The gourd's handle, carved in the shape of a bird's head, adds to its functionality and completes its elegant design. This studio shot captures the beauty and intricacy of the Gooseneck Gourd, inviting us to appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship of Ohara Mitsuhiro. Today, this piece is a cherished addition to the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, reminding us of the timeless beauty and cultural significance of such works.
