Hello, this item is a mixed group of twelve small carvings presented as netsuke. The carving quality varies across the group. Several pieces show molded surfaces, unnaturally uniform staining, and drilled himotoshi typical of twentieth century souvenir production. The materials visible in the images appear to be a combination of bone, composite material, and possibly resin in a few examples. Genuine Edo period or Meiji period ivory netsuke display crisp undercutting, asymmetrical carving, and natural patination, which these examples do not consistently show. The elongated standing figure and the animal forms reflect modern interpretations rather than traditional netsuke iconography. The reverse sides also show simplified detailing, which is another indicator of modern manufacture.

Decorative netsuke lots produced in the late twentieth century are common in estate groups and have a modest market value. Individual pieces with better detailing can sell between USD 20 and USD 50, while simpler molded examples often bring USD 5 to USD 15 each. When sold as a mixed lot, groups of this type typically achieve between USD 80 and USD 150 depending on condition and material.
