Two Japanese ivory okimono, Meiji, carved as a samurai being dressed in armour by an assistant, the details picked out in black, the other as a man holding his geta shoe, a gentle smile upon his face, signed, 5.2cm & 5.8cm high respectively

Condition Report

The samurai has a very fine age crack on the far right side of his face, which is not instantly obvious to the naked eye, but visible using a magnifier. Otherwise it appears to be in good condition with no further obvious faults. The figure with shoe has two small chips to the underside edge of his robe, a small plain patch on the underside of his right foot, otherwise in good condition with no further obvious faults visible.
