up for auction with NO reserve price, is a fabulous ivory netsuke depicting a happy jungle hiker, with his loyal monkey companion. This wonderful piece measures 2 1/8" tall, with a circumference of about 4". It signed by a very gifted artist. Sorry if the picture of the signature is upside-down, I don't read squiggly lines very well. It has intricate etching work, very fine details, original hand touched coloring, and magnificent artistic expression. One of the pictures showes the pants to be a "red" color, actually it is closer to a light pink. The quality ivory carries a pronounced grain and good patination. The piece is pretty dirty, but when it comes to cleaning something like this, I leave it to you, the winning bidder. (I learned my lesson long ago, cleaning near uncirculated gold coins with a toothbrush.....Oops, t went about $30,000.00 in value! True story.) I Welcome Your Questions!!
