Ivory Netsuke, Signed #1024

This is a finely carved, antique, elephant ivory netsuke.  The ivory graining is very clear.  It is signed on the bottom by the artist.  Base on the style of the carving and the lovely patina, this item has been dated to the late 1800s.  This old Japanese gentleman has a delightful expression on his face, as he strokes his long beard.  He carries a sword on his back.  This unique ivory piece is 2" tall, 1.5" wide and almost 1" deep.  It is in excellent condition and would make a fine addition to your collection.
