An antique elephant tusk ivory box, with the scrimshaw portrait of a sage. Signed by the artist. This delightful little box bears the signs of having been highly valued by a former Japanese owner, as evidenced by the gold highlighted repairs. Japanese aesthetic suggests that one does not attempt to hide a repair since if a piece is valued highly enough to merit a repair it should be reflected in gold highlight. Aside from the noted repair, in otherwise good condition. Age has supplied a pleasant honey color and the scrimshaw color is slightly faded. Late 19th To early 20th C. Size: 2.5" in diameter. « Less

This item has been SOLD. Few of these pre war water puppets survive today. This character stood in the stern of a puppet size river boat and handled the tiller. He has a jolly face and early boatmans attire. He must have performed for quite a period since he shows wear and losses from use and exposure to moisture. He has had several repairs and areas repainted by his puppet company. He stands 16" tall and is 7" at the widest point. On a metal display base. Wood with both commercial and home made paint. 1950's period. « Less

From the provincial region of north western Burma, a standing figure with extended left hand. Probably an ancestor figure that would have resided on a household shrine. Carved of wood and lacquered with an undercoat of black and finished with gold gilt, of which only traces remain, the figure is further adorned with a wig of human hair. There are holes in the ears suggesting that earrings and perhaps fabric attire may have been present at one time. The figure stands on an integral wood base. No losses with only wear to the paint and minor hair loss. A charming figure in a style never before encountered. Period 1945 Height 12". « Less
