專家說明

This figure displays the typical decoration of a shakoki dogu (goggle-eyed figure), one of the two mainstream types of clay figurine made at Kamegaoka in Aomori prefecture during the Final Jomon period. Modelled using incised cord marks and distinctive features of the small and narrow eyes suggest the date of this figure to be latter half of the ‘goggled-eye’ period. A similar shakoki dogu with small and narrow eyes is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (fig.1)
