Japanese Boxwood Carving Of Man Carrying A Fish
This is a fine boxwood carving of a comical character standing on one foot while holding a large fish on his head, Japanese Meiji period.
This little figure brings a smile to you face. The carver working with a single piece of boxwood has fashioned a chubby cheeked man in a tunic with billowing sleeves dancing while balancing a huge fish on his hat.
Dimensions:
Height 12 cm
Width 6.5 cm
Depth 5 cm
Please note that one of the photos shows the figure in comparison with a pair of spectacles.
Weight: 60g
Condition: The carving is in fine condition without losses. However, a darkish line around the ankle suggests an old repair (see close-up).
Postage & packing: £5 within the UK. Please contact us for a postal quote if you would like it sent abroad.
