Netsuke

Description

These two netsukes were brought back from Japan during the period of WW2 around 1945. The first one is signed and is approximately 7.5 " tall. The second one is made of wood and has ivory teeth and stands about 5" tall. This is all I know.

 

I am interested in knowing a bit about it and some appraisal.

thank you,

monica
