Finely Carved Japanese Okimono on Stand
-
Description
An antique Okimono (Japanese means artsy display ornament object) displayed on a small custom wood stand from Meiji Period circa early 2oth century. The ball form was finely carved out of a light colored wood. It depicts twelve zodiac animals intertwined together, yet each animal decorated with bead eyes can be easily discerned. The piece is inset with a miniature plaque with the artist's name, which is illegible to us, so the authorship still needs to be deciphered. A small but wonderful object of vertu.
The ball itself is 2" in diameter. -
