Description

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

This is a highly detailed model which is almost entirely made from pieces of tortoiseshell with the exception of the metal wheel spokes, axle, springs, and pins and brackets for connecting the individual pieces. The hood comprises three overlapping sections.

Dimensions: 20 cm length x 7.5 cm width (7 3/4" x 3")

Condition: The rickshaw is in fair condition. It appears to be complete but there have been several rather crude repairs where the glue is visible.

Postage & packing: £5.50 within the UK. Please contact us for a quote if you live overseas.
