FINE Antique, Japanese/Japan Wooden Okimono sagemono Angry God withabalone shell
Abalone shell (mother-of-pearl) inlays on the eyes. Okimono Display item; looks like the arms once held a banner; Ive had several folks tell me this is a sagemono meant to hold tobacco, but I see no evidence of this piece opening up. Slight repair done to lower most leg in the past.
Likely representing one the gods (TBD) a fit of rage. Measures 4.25 inches tall.
