HYOTTOKO - Play Mask Ring, Hand Carved in Deer Antler by Fumio Noguchi
This magnificent HYOTTOKO Japanese play mask ring is carved in deer antler... and the detail is exquisite!
A masterwork of texture and tradition - by Fumio Noguchi.
Carved from deer antler, this beautiful ring features the Hyottoko mask, beloved in Japan as the god of comedy and good fortune. What elevates this piece is Fumio's hallmark style: the intentional interplay between the raw, natural grain of the antler and the meticulously detailed carving of the mask's puckered, comical face.
It is a beautiful paradox of rough and refined, resulting in an artistic and wonderfully tactile ring.
A wonderful piece of wearable art that will make you smile! Perfect for lovers of Japanese carving and traditional folklore.

This very cool ring is packaged in a woven kete pouch.
