Subject:Is this a Netsuke?
Posted By: Stephen Shubinski Tue, Jul 30, 2019 IP: 2600:8802:700:5ba:61

This seems like it could be a Netsuke but there is no signature that could be found. If so, any indication on artist or age?

I need to see all the sides. .
It could well be a Chinese Tagua Nut Carving .

I have posted a few more photos of the front, the bottom and one more of the side. Hope this helps!

I still think is a new style of Tagua Nut Caring. It looks well finished.

Thanks again Ernest. I had never heard of Tagua nut carving before.
