| 19th century ivory netsuke of a standing oni samurai with sword, an oni boy holding a bundle with fish, and a puppy trying to get a fish for himself. Netsuke is an obvious parody on a domestic scene with human participants. Wonderfully carved, great faces, dark brown staining, horns and fan in the hands of a grown-up creature are gold lacquered. Beautiful wear and patina, in great condition. Height 1 3/4 inches. | ||
