Puppy on a shell. Ivory. Around 1800 IA collar tied together in the neck, playing with a closed awabi shell, holding a thin rope in her mouth, which leads on her back. Between three of her four feet she holds the remarkably large awabi shell, apparently also using the rope as a toy. Ivory, very finely carved, the fur very finely engraved and darkly accentuated, partly softly polished by wearing, the large eyes inlaid with black horn. The underside shows a warm, golden-yellow patina. Typical Kyoto work from around 1800. Width 4 cm Private collection, Rhineland
