Subject:Ivory Netsuke, very detailed???
Posted By: Wendy Green Tue, Dec 28, 2021 IP: 122.106.251.174 I wondered if someone might be able to help with this little netsuke. She is so beautiful, pregnant mother and child. It is Ivory, or I believe it is. It is signed on the bottom, but I am not sure who the artist is? |

Posted By: Wendy Green Thu, Dec 30, 2021 Hi Mark, Thanks so much for your reply, it is very much appreciated. I had another look at the Netsuke and one hole is actually bigger than the other (please see more detailed images). I don't think it showed up well in the previous images as I was not focusing on it (of course). Re the material of the Netsuke, it seems cold to touch, which I would assume a nut would not be? and it also has a cross hatched finish to the exterior, I have tried to capture this in an image.... |

Posted By: jonathan Thu, Dec 30, 2021 It is Ivory. There are streger lines on the bottom near the signature. That said it is a piece for tourist production and not for actual use. The himotoshi (holes) are very rough even though they are differing sizes. |
