"Carved Ivory Okimono - Shared Joy - Sculpture Of A Smiling Father And Child"
This Japanese walrus ivory sculpture depicts a man carrying a child on his back, a scene full of tenderness and vitality. The work is distinguished by joyful expressions, a dynamic composition, and finely engraved clothing with decorative motifs. The lively and slightly humorous style, as well as the red seal engraved under the base, "秀則" (hidenori), are characteristic of Japanese decorative works or those inspired by netsuke art.
