BOXWOOD NETSUKE - RABBIT and BABY

Description

THIS ITEM IS  HAND CARVED BOXWOOD -RABBIT WITH BABY.
IT IS A MODERN REPRODUCTION OF THE TRADITIONAL NETSUKE.
IT IS SIGNED.
ITEM WILL STAND ON ITS OWN.
NETSUKES WERE MADE AS AN ORNAMENTAL ITEM.
IT WAS USED TO ATTACH THE ENRO BOX (SMALL PURSE) TO THE SASH OF THE KIMONO.
THEY ARE VERY COLLECTIBLE.
THE ITEM IS CREATED BY MASTER CARVERS IN CHINA.
UNFORTUNATELY, MY SOURCES TELL ME THAT THESE SMALL WORKS OF ART ARE NO LONGER BEING MADE.   I CAN NO LONGER ACQUIRE NEW ITEMS.
DIMENSIONS ARE APPROXIMATELY: 1&5/8" x 1&3/8 high
THIS ITEM WOULD MAKE A GREAT GIFT OR STOCKING STUFFER - THINK CHRISTMAS!
