Description:
A Japanese 18th century ivory okimono, Edo period, mid 18th century, the expressive okimono shows the oneiric scene of a cripple dreaming he can stand: a bearded man seated on a rock with both hands on his long twisted scroll, captivated by the apparition of an alter ego figure perched on top of a nikawi tree trunk, standing and walking again; unsigned but finely carved, engraved and tinted, height 8 cm
