EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Japanese Netsuke of a snake, dating back to the 19th century. As one of the twelve animals in the Japanese Zodiac, this intricately carved artefact holds great significance in astrology and animal symbolism. The coiled serpent, beautifully captured in this studio shot, displays an exquisite level of craftsmanship and attention to detail. The snake's curled-up posture adds an element of dynamism to the image, while its vibrant color brings it to life. This wooden object represents not only a reptile but also serves as a testament to Japan's rich cultural heritage. Housed within the prestigious Victoria and Albert Museum's collection, this netsuke is a true treasure that offers insights into both artistry and science. Its presence evokes curiosity about the country it originates from and invites viewers on a journey through time. Photographed by CM Dixon at the Museum of Ornamental Art at Victoria Albert Museum, this image captures every nuance of this extraordinary artifact.
