A MODERN HORN BUTTON WITH SHIBAYAMA INLAY WORK.

1 large horn base inset with a Shibayama inlay of insects.
These examples are extremely well done and were made in very limited quantities. They were imported by Alice Eubank of California in the late 1990's or early 2000's, as I said in very limited quantities that she was sold out of them very quickly and did not have more produced. here were two size made a large like this one and an extra large. Also they were made in the opposite materials. This one is inlaid with tortoise and abalone and depict 4 different insects, so cool. From the collection of Shelley Strick of California.
