A large and complex family group okimono dating from the Meiji period; well carved from one piece of the mid-section of a tusk, cream colored ivory depicting the prosperous rural life achieved during a time of economic growth. Meiji period art and carvings were made in great numbers for export, with themes of Japanese traditions and daily life popularly traded. Here a man and his two sons stand together in a rocky landscape, the father holding a basket of fruit on a long rope, the two boys standing beneath him, one holding a bird. Engraved with hair lines and patterned with geometric, floral and feather motifs. Strongly marked with graining and showing a patina of age in golden tones on the man’s head and washing over the back of the piece. Despite its age, with a thin hair line crack on the base, overall the tusk is in meticulous condition.
