Sold for: £35
A set of six erotic figurines, known as shunga, crafted in the Japanese tradition. These items are composed of an ivory-coloured material, likely a high-quality resin or composite, featuring various couples in intimate poses. Each figure is detailed with fine incisions depicting traditional Japanese textile patterns, such as shippo interlocking circles, scrolling vines, and floral motifs including peonies and chrysanthemums. These decorative elements are hand-tinted with polychrome pigments in black, red, green, and pink. The styling and material suggest these pieces were produced during the mid-20th century for the decorative collector market. There are no maker marks, signatures, or characters visible on any of the figurines.
