Posted By: Stan Tue, Dec 16, 2014 The work looks pretty crude. It is recently made (20th century at the earliest - likely later). It doesn't look like ivory. If is not ivory, there is no ban on shipping abroad - other than seller not wanting to ship abroad. |

Posted By: j lewis Tue, Dec 16, 2014 I would never purchase a netsuke if I could not hold it in my hand first. This doesn't look very old to me. |
