$450 USDUnusual Antique Ivory Netsuke (Katabori) Woman Smoking Pipe, Subtly Erotic, c 1900, Signed
Antiques:Oriental:Ivory:Netsuke
This very unusual netsuke katabori is of a woman with a pipe. She has a suggestive lower cut dress that shows a bit of cleavage!

It's revolving face, the Shishimai Mask on which he stands, the fan and rattle; all told a marvelous and unusual find. It stands 1 and 3/4 inches tall, and is in very good condition. It is signed Getsu.

I wonder if there is some folklore about the rats freeing him? He is 1 and 1/2 inches high, and is signed of the base. He is in Very Good to Excellent Condition with no losses. Just the usual small signs of age.| Items 1 - 3 of 3 | Page 1 of 1 |
