ABOUT PRODUCTID 5202
This miniature sculpture of a puppy, created in the Far East in the 1990s, is carved entirely from very hard, dark Japanese boxwood. Measuring 6 cm in height, 5 cm in length, and 4.5 cm in width, it is hand-carved with remarkable precision—the carving lines are clean, and the proportions are harmonious. The surface displays a warm, medium to dark brown hue with subtle reddish undertones and a semi-matte finish that gently highlights the craftsmanship, especially in the intricately rendered fur texture. The puppy is shown seated, with a slightly oversized head, large glossy black eyes, and a delicately sculpted jacket. The fur’s curly texture is meticulously executed, revealing a high level of skill. The construction is seamless, with no visible joints or fittings, underscoring its unity. The condition is excellent—there are no signs of wear, damage, or restoration. This small sculpture carries the spirit of its era, when miniaturization and artisanal mastery merged with a love for collectible forms. The dark, refined boxwood surface tells the story of Japanese carving traditions, where every detail holds meaning. The stylized proportions and playful posture evoke the late twentieth century, a time when everyday motifs became a canvas for creative whimsy—as if the puppy, dressed in its tiny jacket, invites the viewer into a world of attentive joy and gentle humor. This piece would make a distinctive accent on a living room console, where it could accompany other miniatures or East Asian ceramic figurines. It may be placed near a small table lamp to accentuate the subtle sheen of the wood, or set among books about craftsmanship, serving as a quiet yet expressive highlight in a collection
