Subject:Help to identify object please
Posted By: Stephen Lang Mon, Sep 27, 2021 IP: 82.45.112.232 Can I ask for help to identify what this item is and what it is made from? Thanks for indulging me. |

Posted By: Steve Gridley Mon, Sep 27, 2021 The only information I can give you is that is a Japanese netsuke, ivory by what I can make out in the photos. The wear to one hole indicates it may have been used for its intended purpose. Others will need to translate and add additional information. |
