Fantastic Wakazashi or Tanto carved in highly polished bone and possibly some ivory elements. This is one of the nicest swords there is in this genre. Circa 1880 and a master carving job by Japanese Meiji artists. Look closely at the depth and detail of all the elements of this sword. Includes a dozen or so inlaid mother of pearl and abalone pieces. Pierced in spots and inlaid horn eyes. A few minor restorations and age lines missing one horn inlay. Overall very good condition and a highlight piece. 14'' long Status: For Sale Reference#: 537_3741 Condition: vg Year: 1900
