DESCRIPTION: A Japanese ivory okimono with incredibly fine carving depicting Gamma Sennin carrying a magic toad on his back, while carefully shading him with a large curled leaf. The detail on this carving is remarkable as evidenced by the thinly carved and delicately curled leaf that is undercut and almost fully separated from the rest of the piece.

DESCRIPTION: An incredible and very finely carved walrus ivory okimono of a male lion attacking a kangaroo doe with its joey (baby) on her chest. The dynamic movement and superior detail set this okimono apart as an absolutely superb carving. The lion’s fine hair and pronounced muscle groups, and the terrified expression of the doe gives a realism that almost makes you shudder! Both animals have inlaid eyes, the lion’s of a reflective yellow stone while the doe’s eyes are black onyx. The und ...click for details
