Subject:netsuke question
Posted By: Lisa Thu, Jul 18, 2024 IP: 35.132.129.114

I bought this at a thrift store. I didn't know what it was at the time. Now I wonder if anyone can help me know more about it? Is there a way to tell what it's made of? How old it is? It may be a new plastic replica for all I know!
Thank you.

Sorry the photos show to large. I changed the size before posting to what was asked, as the originals were too large.

It's a replica of a Japanese netsuke.
Based on the images it's not old but new tourist type thing.
I think it's resin or plastic.

Thank you! I just grabbed it out of a Goodwill Outlet bin, just in case. It will make a fine plant pot decoration!
