This as good as it gets.  Japanese ivory Geisha holding an umbrella.  She is carved from a solid piece of ivory with the exception of her umbrella (which comes apart with a screw on top center).  She is dressed in the traditional Japanese kimono complete with obi.  But note the detail to every feature including her beautiful face.  Maybe hard to see in the pic, but her right sleeve is carved through up to her arm.  Again, take note to the detail of her clothing with the folds and flowing illusion of movement.  The umbrella is in itself a small masterpiece.  There is a collar in the center that unscrews to be able to remove the round part (a tiny chip to this collar and one tiny tiny chip to the outside of the umbrella... see pic).... otherwise, absolutely perfect.  She stands 9 1/2" to the highest point. She is signed by the artist...... (click on image)

This is a great example of a Japanese Ivory Okimono of a Man Smoking.  He is a traditional 'sectional' okimono, but is on the large side for such a carving.  He is standing holding his pipe on one hand and his bag and pipe case in the other with a basket and tree stumps at his feet.  He is signed by the artist and is in perfect condition.  He stands 7" tall.

Spectacular example of Indian Art on Ivory.  It is painted on a huge slab of exquisite ivory measuring 11" x 4.5".  The scene is a pleasant courtyard with people sitting playing instruments, visiting with each other, with riders in the background.  It is mounted in a nice gilt frame shadow box measuring 17" x 17" x 2.25".  It is in pristine condition.

A very well done tribute to the Maharaja riding on an elephant with his two servants.  The one in the back is holding an umbrella (removable) while the other guides the ride (his hook is also removable).  It is carved from nice ivory with 'attachments' in the old Japanese tradition including the ladder, side panels, etc.  Some of these attachments have some gaps due to age, and a couple of tiny splits, but none that are dangerous or distracting to the piece.  The decoration on the elephant's head are free hanging.  They stand in impressive 6 1/2" to the top of the umbrella (not counting the nice wood stand).

This is a simple but fine example of the tradition of carving fruits in Japan.  This is a LARGE piece of old ivory with beautiful crosshatching and graining.  I am sure the pics and measurements do not the show the real size, but it is life size.  There is some crazing (tight age lines on the bottom that only adds character). 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" (not counting stem).
