It would look fantastic at the center of a mid-century table or sideboard

one for the blade--it is structurally sound and ready to put to use opening the bills

Pair of Antique Handcarved Tagua Nut Japanese Netsuke with Many Faces black and white arrow It would look fantastic atCharming little faces all the way around on these small Japanese netsuge, hand carved of Tagua nut (a palm tree nut), later 19th century I believe. Four faces on the larger, two on the smaller, each wearing a different expression. I love that their forms relate to American peach pit carved baskets too as if they were the inspiration for those. Larger: 7 8 t x 3 4 w, Smaller 7 8t x 9 16 w. Both in good antique condition, with a couple of tiny holes on
