An Exquisite carving of a mouse features in this Netsuke! Carved in Tagua nut (which looks exactly like Ivory), this delightful mouse has real black Agate eyes. It is clinging onto an oval box with Avocado or nut sections carved into it. Netsuke is a small Japanese carved ornament, once used to fasten small objects (e.g. a purse or pouch for tobacco, medicines etc.) to a sash, worn round the waist, in traditional costume. There is a Japanese signature on the side of the box. It measures 2 inches by 1 ½ inches, and is in Excellent Condition.Old Code 2145.
