Item Details

Description

East Asia, Japan, Edo to Meiji Period, ca. 19th century CE. A hand-carved whale tooth ivory netsuke that functions as a drawstring toggle, inlaid with a repousse brass panel. The repousse inlay depicts a chubby cheeked figure holding a fan and wearing a triangular cap, assessing fruit hanging from a tree branch. The cylindrical tooth is slightly curved, the root end has an empty pulp cavity that extends a short way into the tooth center. The toggle holes are hand drilled through one side for threading this piece on a cord- perhaps as part of a tobacco pouch. Size: 3" L x 0.8" W (7.6 cm x 2 cm)

This is an ESA antique exempt piece of ivory and cannot be sold internationally or to anyone residing in the states of California, Hawaii, Illinois, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, and Washington. We guarantee that the piece is over 100 years old
