N1007: Ivory 'Noh Mask'
Netsuke
This is more than a nice ivory Noh Mask netsuke. All my years
of collecting, I have only seen this version a couple times and the cost
was prohibitive for me to purchase it. BUT... I finally caught one
off guard. Although the facial expression is somewhat gruesome, it
is extremely well done with the missing tooth, elongated face, and scary
eyes. It is carved from the nicest pristine ivory and measures a large
2" (thick and wide).

N1001: Ivory 'Noddler'
Netsuke
This is a rare 'Noddler' ivory netsuke. The head moves from
side to side, but will not come out. Amazing craftsmanship.
He is standing with a slice of watermelon in his hands. He
is stained a dark tea color and stands 2 1/8" tall.

N985: Ivory 'Sumo Wrestlers'
Netsuke
There are many renditions of the popular Sumo Wrestlers, but this
ivory netsuke is one of the best I have seen. The facial expressions
are right on as one reaches around the other. They have a very nice
signature on their hip. They stand 1 3/8" with a highly polished
finish.

N1022: Ivory 'Cleaning
of Buddha' Netsuke
This is a fantastic ivory netsuke of the annual Cleaning of Buddha
ceremony. Every year in Japan, the people flock to the gigantic statue
to perform the 'maintenance' of the shrine. This rendition is as
good as it gets. Note the detail to the tiny people climbing all
over him, and the delicate scrimshaw to the decorations. It sits
1 3/4" and 1 1/2" wide (a larger netsuke).

N969: Ivory 'Box Maker'
Netsuke
This is a great ivory netsuke of a worker at his post. Japan
netsuke carvers are famous for portraying the average man at work.
Here he sits with a mallet in his hand with a large box on his stump.
Very traditional with the tea stain. He sits 1 1/2". Circa
probably turn of the century.
