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. 2.75high with the stand. The item "Finely Carved Japanese Okimono on Stand" is in sale since Friday, April 3, 2020. This item is in the category "Antiques\Asian Antiques\Japan\Other Japanese Antiques". The seller is "gallery-t" and is located in Miami, Florida.
