Okimono happy fisherman

The okimono figurine is made entirely of ivory. It depicts the figure of a fisherman dressed in a Japanese robe. On his right shoulder the fisherman holds a stick, on either side of which fish hang on strings (unfortunately the fish carrier is somewhat damaged). In his left hand, the figure holds a basket and several fish on strings. The fisherman has a distinctive Japanese hairstyle. The figurine is made with extreme precision and meticulous attention to detail.
