Mammoth Ivory Netsuke Frogs on Lotus, Signed

A very detailed, delicate netsuke, finely carved from old mammoth elephant ivory.  It is 1 3/4" by 1 1/4" and about 1/4" thin.  The frogs are depicted in a gentle embrace and almost seem to be kissing as they float atop a lotus leaf.  This is one of the smallest Netsukes that we have ever seen and the detail is just exquisite.  It is a very unique piece and bears the signature of the artist.  It is dated to the early 1900s.
