$450 USDJapanese Ivory Netsuke - Boat with Five Passengers, Monkey And Luggage
Collectibles:Oriental:Ivory:Netsuke
This is quite a different and unusual netsuke. While boats have been frequently frequently carved as okomonos and less frequently as netsukes, I have not seen one carved with the subtle humor.
