<p><b>A superb netsuke or okimono of antique marine ivory, measuring approximately 3 x 2 x 1 1/2 ins., dating to the Meiji Era (1868-1912).</b> The subject is most likely a sleeping Chinese sage or it might be Daikoku. The piece has the wonderful patina achieved only by human handling and age. The unequal himotoshi on the base are characteristic of the period. It is in fine and original condition.
