Subject:Help identifying netsuke snake
Posted By: zeke b Thu, Oct 02, 2014 IP: 50.53.183.87

Hi All, I have had this piece for over 10 years, and I was hoping you all could help me identify this piece. Bought it many years ago at an antiques shop. Thanks in advance!

Maybe made for a tourist, but in my book this is not considered ART.Sorry !!

I think the signature us upside down. But I agree with Ernest, probably a tourist piece and rather crudely carved. You might want to ask at the netsuke list: http://netsuke.websitetoolbox.com/
