This genuine Antique Ivory netsuke is in the Katabori style and measures just over 1 1/4" wide x 1 1/4" high and has an approx. thickness of 7/8". It is in excellent condition and is signed on the bottom - although I can not interpret the characters. Wonderful detail and very rich patina on this old ivory piece. This was from an estate and I have no further information on it's origins or exact age.

Katabori netsuke are carved completely in three dimensions, the carving detailing each part of the figure or subject. These are particularly collectible because of their detail and sculptural quality. n all art forms and all ages, t is a range of quality, from crude shapes to the most subtle and ingenious. Older antique netsuke are prized for their style and patina. The subtle wear upon an ivory or wood surface that speaks of hundreds of years of use.
