Description

A very finely made early 20th century Japanese tortoiseshell model of a rickshaw with retractable hood in near perfect condition.

The model which is almost entirely made from pieces of tortoiseshell is highly detailed. Even the slender spokes of the wheels are made from tortoiseshell and these have been deliberately shaped in profile. The canopy comprising six sections is fully retractable. The seat is engraved with a crisscross design.

Dimensions: 17.5 cm length x 7 cm depth x 13 cm height

The condition given the delicate nature of the model is extraordinarily good. One spoke missing.
