Happy almost Valentines Day!
This little guy showed up in a mixed strand of widely disparate parts.
He is definitely carved from ivory, but is a genuine old ojime bead or a recent or contemporary reproduction of some kind? The hole running through it is about 3mm in diameter.
There is a signature at the bottom which I'll attach to a following message
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
My best,
Linda

Your bead is a contemporary Chinese copy of a netsuke -scaled down & drilled for the ojime market. --- Frederick II ( 2018-02-13 14:20 ) file img

        You may be thinking of the Japanese fable about the badger turning into a teapot. (no text) --- Frederick II ( 2018-02-15 15:45 )
