Description
IMPRESSIVE LARGE JAPANESE POLYCHROME IVORY CARVING OF A FISHERMAN STANDING An outstanding and visually stunning Japanese ivory carving of a fisherman laden with the days success. He is depicted with smile on his face, albeit bent under his heavy load. His right hand supports the bamboo pole on which over 30 fish are suspended by their mouths. His left carries a bucket and several more fish. The fisherman and his prizes are stained in bright yellows, reds and greens. Incredible detail allowed by the artist goes so far as to expose individual hairs, the coils in the ropes and even the smile lines. Base is signed. Size: 10 1/4 x 8"
