236. Japanese Wood Carving of a Fisherman

A beautifully carved figure of a fisherman returning with his catch, in stride while a boy admires a large fish. Man has flowing and up-turned robes showing movement, wide brimmed hat, and more fish on a pole. There is a nicely carved basket on the ground and the eyes of the figures and fish are possibly ivory. Hollow carved based, this piece should be signed, though no evidence of this was found. Stands apprx 20" tall.
