This lot consists of two Japanese carvings from the late 19th to early 20th century. The first item is a standing okimono depicting a woman in a traditional kimono and obi. The body of the figure is carved from ivory, which displays characteristic Schreger lines on the underside of the base. The head is crafted from a contrasting dark material, likely boxwood or dark-stained ivory. The kimono is decorated with fine incised and pigment-filled sumi-e style motifs of foliage and birds. The second item is a wooden netsuke representing a seated male figure holding a large cylindrical object. It is carved from boxwood with a honey-colored patina and includes two himotoshi cord holes on the reverse. The base and back of the netsuke feature several incised characters, though they are not clearly legible. The netsuke is accompanied by a yellow velvet-lined presentation box.
