Subject:ivory figurine of a man on a horse
Posted By: Isabelle Fri, Nov 23, 2018 IP: 217.102.181.77

This ivory figurine of a man on a horse measures 12.5 cm in height and is colored with black, red and green. On the bottom there's a mark. Any information on the mark, country of origin, and period would be most welcome. Thanks in advance.

This is likely a Japanese okimono. Toba is a common subject for Japanese netsuke. See link below. Given the lack of patina, your piece looks new.

Cheers,
Stan
