The love between a mother and child bringing home the bounty of a trip to the market, gorgeously rendered in this ivory okimono. The mother gently supports the child by reaching her arm around while the child clings to her sturdy shoulders. A flowering basket of fruit is suspended from the mother’s right hand; persimmons, grapes, and bread rendered in precise detail. Hanging from the child’s hand, a bunch of grapes to share with his siblings. A chrysanthemum motif, a sign of the Japanese throne, is etched into the rich contours of her kimono, furthering this embodiment of Japanese motherhood. The creamy patina has aged attractively, though the piece does have its minor imperfections; including a hairline around her neck suggest that it may have been an old restoration. Neverheless the okimono remains in excellent presentations.
