Compact Broad-Shouldered Toad Head Wenwan Walnut Pair | 35.0mm x 37.0mm | HMT-SY1H6

Product Description

This single-inventory listing features the exact pair of Wenwan walnuts shown in the product gallery. Carrying the stock ID HMT-SY1H6, this pair belongs to the classic Toad Head (Hamatou) form, recognizable for its broad shoulders, compact body, and thick, rounded overall structure.

Measuring approximately 35.0mm x 37.0mm, this is a relatively compact pair with noticeably greater width than height. The proportions give the walnuts a low, stout appearance, while the broad shoulders and rounded lower body create the characteristic “toad-like” silhouette associated with the Hamatou form.

The surface texture is comparatively broad and muscular rather than extremely fine, with large natural folds running across the body. Both walnuts show similar overall volume, shoulder width, and structural character, giving the pair a cohesive appearance.

The pair has been pre-cleaned and base-brushed for international shipping.

The Story of the Form

The Hamatou, commonly translated as Toad Head, is a distinctive Wenwan walnut form valued for its compact proportions and broad, substantial body.

Unlike taller, more sharply pointed varieties, Hamatou walnuts typically carry their visual weight through the shoulders and lower body. This gives them a dense, grounded appearance that often feels larger in the hand than their measured height suggests.

This pair particularly emphasizes that characteristic. At approximately 35 × 37mm, the walnuts are distinctly wider than tall, creating a compact and solid silhouette. The rounded shoulders and large surface folds add to the sense of mass and give the pair a strong traditional Hamatou character.

Product Characteristics

• Compact 35mm format: Suitable for collectors who prefer smaller hand sizes.
• Broad 37mm width: Creates a noticeably stout, substantial profile.
• Classic Hamatou silhouette: Wide shoulders and rounded body.
• Strong dimensional contrast: Wider-than-tall proportions emphasize the low-profile form.
• Substantial texture: Larger ridges and folds rather than overly fine surface patterning.
• Natural asymmetry: Each walnut retains its individual organic structure.
• Balanced pair: Similar overall height, width, volume, and visual weight.
• Comfortable compact size: Smaller dimensions without losing the substantial look associated with Toad Head walnuts.

Care

These walnuts have already been pre-cleaned and base-brushed.

During the first month, keep them in a sealed bag when not being handled so they can gradually acclimatize to your local environment.

Handle with clean, dry hands and brush regularly with a clean Wenwan brush.

Avoid water, oil, direct sunlight, heaters, air-conditioning vents, and sudden changes in temperature or humidity.
