[QUOTE="wlwhittier, post: 9577555, member: 76316"]Please see next post for the other 3 dogs. These were among uncle Leonards things. Each is roughly an inch long an' all 5 together weigh ~18 grams. My guess is that they were carved post-war, before 1952 when Leonard an' his wife Annabelle left Japan. I question Ivory 'cause I can't see any of those characteristic lines that show in elephant ivory. They are not cast. Under a loupe the tool marks on each one are abundantly evident. Have any of you got experience with such work? [ATTACH=full]461627[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]461628[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]461629[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]461630[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]461631[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
