Super lucky find at the antique store. Carved bone inro with a cat motif and a carved horn fish netsuke
#smokey talks#inro#japan#antiques#ive never seen this particular one online but generally speaking finding a bone inro costs like $200 minimum for modern reproductions#antique ones depending on the time period can fetch enough to buy a house#this one is almost definitely modern but it appears to be handmade to my untrained eye anyway#if anyone can find info on this inro pls lemme know!#i found similar ones at online antique retailers claiming to be 19th century and those dont include netsuke or a cord#but the cord on mine is definitely a modern nylon of some kind so it mustve been added by its last owner if the antique sites r correct#regardless im ecstatic to have this!#the website i found the others on are charging €200 i got this for $40 USD
