Flowers - Roses and Parakeets   This is a stunning work of art.   The artist has done an amazing job of carving many roses and leaves into this masterpiece.  Two parakeets are perched upon this piece giving it a very unique and unusual theme.  The artist somehow has also managed to carved another parakeet and a cricket inside the lattice work of the vase.   The reticulated ivory vase is carved in a lattice work design and perfectly compliments this majestic carving.   Shozan, the master carver, has signed this piece on the underside of the vase.   The ivory weighs well in excess of 4 pounds and measures 13" x 8 1/2" x 8 1/2".   This wonderful carving is certainly unique and can serve as the centerpiece for the finest collection of Japanese ivory art.  It should only increase in value over the years.     Dimensions:  13.00" x 8.50" x 8.50" Weight:  4 Pounds, 14 ounces Signature:  Shozan   We will ship to you via UPS Next Day Air Saver.
