"Japanese Ivory Crab"
Splendid articulated ivory crab. This object is representative of the perfectionism of Japanese ivory cutters in the 19th century. In the land of the rising sun, the crab is synonymous with longevity. This work is cut with such meticulousness that the smallest details in the joints, eyes, shell or belly of the animal are rendered perfectly.
