This is a very relaxed, sleepy pussy cat with nicely carved fur and short domestic cat ears. Tagua nut is call vegetable ivory because its weight, color, and hardness are very similar to elephant ivory. Tagua palms grow in sub tropical areas such as Ecuador. A renewable resource, tagua nuts are used for buttons, jewelry, and musical instrument parts, just to name a few. This little cat feels like ivory. The carving is great.

$40 USD Offers ConsideredSmall Wood and Carved Bone Inro
Collectibles:Oriental:Inro:Bone Carving:Asian:Japanese
This is a very small boxwood and bone Japanese Inro. An inro is a form of purse or carry case used by Japanese men to carry money, medicines, chops, and snuff because kimonos had no pockets. This inro was probably used to hold snuff or medicine. The button being used as an ojimi bead is not original. The inro measures 2" high by 1 3/4" wide. The wood shows that it has been handled often.

$48 USD Offers ConsideredREDUCED Tibetan Silver Cylindrical Box With Carving

Buyer should be aware that "Tibetan silver" is not pure silver but is a combination of silver and other alloys such as tin or antimony.
$25 USDCarved Ebony Netsuke--Two Mice on a Box
Collectibles:Oriental:Netsuke:Mice:Ebony Wood:Asian:Japanese
Ebony wood always looks so rich on these little things. For some reason, the Asian artisans use mice as models a lot. These little guys are a lot cuter than the real thing. The piece is 2" long and 1 1/2" high. Beautifully carved and polished with proper netsuke holes, artisan's signature and onyx eyes. Postage is included in the price. The little stand is not.

$50 USD Offers ConsideredOkimono Oxbone Immortal With Flute
Collectibles:Oriental:Okimono:Immortal:Flute:Oxbone:Asian
This particular immortal was a favorite at court. Han Xiang carries a flute and is the patron saint of musicians in China.

$65 USD Offers ConsideredREDUCED Okimono--Bone Carved Longevity God Shouxing
Collectibles:Oriental:Okimono:Chinese Immortal:Scrimshaw:Asian
This is a great ox bone carved statue of the Chinese longevity god Shouxing. This is a typical rendering of Shouxing with a peach, his prominent forehead, a dragon staff, and a wine gourd. The only thing missing is the crane (bird) that he used as a mode of transportation. Really fine etched and colored scrimshaw on his robe. He stands 5" tall and 3" at the widest point.
