Hello, this item is a carved Asian figural group depicting a man pulling a traditional hand cart or rickshaw carrying a seated woman beneath a canopy. The composition appears inspired by East Asian street or transport scenes, likely Chinese or Japanese in influence, and was most probably produced during the mid to late 20th century for the decorative export market. The material appears consistent with carved bone or an imitation ivory composite rather than confirmed elephant ivory. The even coloration, relatively uniform surface texture, and mechanically consistent detailing suggest a commercial decorative carving rather than a finely worked antique ivory sculpture. The wheels and canopy show careful craftsmanship, but the overall execution aligns more closely with decorative souvenir or export production pieces from the 1950s through 1980s.

Condition appears generally good overall, although the noted crack visible from the rear and underside does affect desirability and value. There do not appear to be major missing elements, which is important for multipart carvings of this type, as wheels, handles, and figures are commonly damaged or lost. Decorative Asian carriage carvings in bone or faux ivory remain collectible within the decorative arts market, particularly when complete and visually appealing, though they do not achieve the values associated with signed antique ivory okimono or master carvings. Based on comparable market examples and the visible condition, the fair market value would likely range between $75 and $175 USD.
