Product Description
Beautifully composed and rich in character, this antique Japanese Meiji period ivory okimono depicts a man and young boy gathered around a woven basket, capturing a quiet moment from everyday life. Expertly hand carved, the scene reflects the warmth, storytelling and exceptional craftsmanship that distinguish Japanese ivory carvings of the Meiji period.
Measuring approximately 7.5 cm in length, the figures are finely carved with expressive faces, delicately engraved robes and intricate detail throughout. The okimono is signed by the artist and is presented on a carved wooden stand, complementing the sculpture and allowing it to be displayed with elegance.
Created during Japan's celebrated Meiji period (1868–1912), ivory okimono were produced as decorative works of art and admired for their remarkable artistry and attention to detail. This charming example is a wonderful addition to any collection of Japanese carvings or Meiji period art.
