Antique Japanese turtle Inro Ojime Netsuke in handcarved wood

ITEM# 3171
Antique Japanese turtle Inro Ojime Netsuke in handcarved wood
Antique Japanese Hand Carved turtle Inro Ojime Netsuke. The "turtle" inro measures 5 inches long and is three and one quarter inches wide. The inro is in 3 pieces, or tiers as known. The ojime is a hand carved turtle, as well, the netsuke is a hand carved turtle. This antique inro dates from the Meiji period. Unsigned, attributed to Tadakazu (Chuichi).The ojime measures three quarter of an inch by half an inch and the netsuke measures 1 and three quarter inches by 1 and three eighths inches. An Inro is a small, multi-tiered box that is hung from an Obi sashi along with a netsuke and an ojime, a small device used for tightening the sash. This inro has the most beautiful hand worn mellow surface. Excellent condition. The cord has been replaced but the rest is all original. Just in from an Essex CT estate.

Thank you for your quick reply. I am really shocked at the price. I knew many people here wanted it, but probably figured I didn't know what I had and they wanted to buy it for nothing. I am glad I held on to it.
Thanks again!
