Ivory Okimono - Man Resting on a Jug, Signed

This is a wonderful Okimono from an estate in Florida.  Carved from elephant ivory, this antique okimono is one of the best that we have seen.  This piece is currently on display in my living room and it is not an item that I want to part with, but if you appreciate it as much as I do, it can be yours.  Exquisitely carved and signed by the artist, it is estimated to be about 100 years old.  It has a charm that is irresistible.  The expression on this man's face, as he naps on this large jug is so endearing.  Also, the grain in this piece of ivory is truly remarkable.  Just look at the photos.  This piece is a little over 2 inches tall and a little over 2 1/2 inches wide.
