Antique Japanese Edo Period Man Sitting At Writing Desk Netsuke in Antler 1.5"

A man at his desk, brush in hand, caught in the middle of his work. The carving on this is really fine — the inkwork detailing in the recesses has aged to a deep brown that makes every line pop. Classic Meiji period antler netsuke subject, the scholarly figure, done here with real personality in the face.

Antique, Meiji period, excellent condition. A solid example for any netsuke collector.
