[QUOTE="wlwhittier, post: 9534392, member: 76316"]This was one of uncle Leonard's treasures. I posted here because I find it jewel-like in many respects...Mods can move it, if inappropriate. 3 1/2" X 2 5/16" X 3/8", ~2.6 oz. Most shibayama I have seen shows moderate to severe 'jewel' loss; I'm so happy that hasn't happened to this, an' I take serious care to protect it from threat. Until I can get a translation of the artist's signature I can only guess that it's early Meiji. When & if I know more, I'll add that information here. At some point soon it will go, with several other Japanese antique items, to a major Asian art auction house. eBay is not an ideal venue, especially for ivory. Your questions an' comments are welcome, an' thanks for lookin'! Edit: My spelling is incorrect; should be shib[U]a[/U]yama vs shib[U]u[/U]yama. I'd change the title, but haven't yet figured out how.
