Subject:Attributing lacquerwork/ivory carving on panel
Posted By: Pierre-M Sat, Jul 19, 2014 IP: 90.46.226.241

Hi, I am trying to identify the origin of this piece of ivory/bone carving and lacquer work. I believe it is Japanese and would date it betw 1870 and 1920 but cannot find any literature on this kind of work. I guess it was produced for export and would relate it to "shibayama" production. If someone could translate the signature of the artist and have any suggestion about where to dig further I would be delighted. Thank you in advance for your time and contribution (hope imahe small enough to dowmload...)
