Ivory horn Japanese maskmaker snuff bottle
A very attractive, well carved snuff bottle made from Ivory [mastadon, or Hippo] and horn. It is a Chinese carving of a Japanese mask maker. It appears to have orininally been carved as a netsuke and then converted into a snuff bottle. It is about 2 5/8" tall.A good piece of work about a decade or more old.
