Subject:ivory okimono of sleeping cat - any thoughts on artist or date?
Posted By: Joan Sat, Apr 23, 2022 IP: 104.173.220.228 This unsigned okimono I think is made of walrus ivory - can anyone confirm that? I am also hoping that someone may have an idea of who the artist might be - Thanks in advance

Posted By: Steve Gridley Sun, Apr 24, 2022 You have a wonderful and well executed carved cat by a gifted carver. I am partial to cats. In my opinion your cat has the same high polish as a walrus carving I have. Also the back of your cat seems to have a crystalline appearance like the secondary dentine of a walrus tusk. That’s the best I can do. Hopefully another can offer better.
