    This little guy piqued my interest at the local auction so did some googling and found this similar one that sold in April.

    https://www.ebay.ie/itm/JAPANESE-CH...E-WARRIOR-ON-HORSEBACK-CHARMING-/401104811230


    Same style but different armaments. The construction of these is insanely difficult. There are at least 30 separate carved bone pieces either pinned or glued together with the pinning hiding under the coloured dots. The eboo-er didn’t have a clue where they came from or when and neither do I. Does anybody have any clues as to where and when??

    Data 22.5cm High, 29cm Long, 0.66Kg

    Cheers

    Stephen

    Fair question. There are tons of similar on internet, all from China. They started out made from ivory, then bone, and now resin.

    Jivvy the research is my favorite

    I know nothing about these, but I don't see anything to suggest it's resin.

    I wasn't suggesting this one was resin. I was just pointing out that it appears the latest ones coming out of China are.
