pup bib

Gift of Mrs. Charlene S. Kornblum and Dr. S. Sanford Kornblum (M.2017.41)

Though this puppy is crafted of paulownia wood and glazed with gofun (a white made of ground oyster shell), his spiffy bib is made of silk.  That bib has stayed bright since a craftsman tied it on him in mid-19th century Japan.  Speaking of bright, don't you love his little red toenails? 
For another view of him from the side, visit his page at the LA County Museum of Art and look for View 2.
