Subject:Miniature Figurine
Posted By: Becky Douglas Sat, Mar 09, 2019 IP: 75.191.128.60 I purchased this figurine and stand and was wondering if anyone could provide me with any information. The only info I got was that it was carved out of stone. |

Posted By: Stan Sat, Mar 09, 2019 It is a netsuke. in the second picture, note the holes for the string where it is attached to the sash of a kimono. The pictures are not good enough to guess the material. It doen't look like ivory. It is 20th century or newer and of mediocre quality. |
