Type: Katabori (Sculptural) Netsuke
Material: Bovine Bone
Age: Contemporary
Origin/Maker: European. Spurious signature on base. This netsuke, previously sold on eBay as an antique, is attributed to one spurious carver from Switzerland, referred to as "Peter Kiener" (his eBay handle), who may be the same carver currently selling fake stag antler netsuke on eBay from Hungary (the seller's location jumps around Europe, but it seems to be the same person). In any case, it's an interesting contemporary carving.
