Description

I bought this Netsuke at a estate sale with some other Ivory pieces that i thought were very rare and i had never seen anything like them before. I took all of these pieces to my local friend that sells antiques and he confirmed that they were indeed real Ivory and told me what this piece was and told me that it could be worth alot but he does not know enough about Netsukes to offer a fair estimate. It is incredibly detailed and right now is the prize of my collection i am only hoping to find out some more information please.
