Description

Netsuke are tiny carvings from Japan that were originally tied on to the end of a cord attached to a pouch, so the pouch could hang from the belt of a kimono.

Netsuke usually have meaning beyond the subject, representing traditional legends, stories, or symbols

The study shown here is a Rooster, commonly used to symbolise self confidence and sexuality..

This is a lovely example, highly detailed and perfect.

Curiosities of York

I always try and describe my items as accurately as I can but mistakes can happen. The photos form part of the description and I welcome requests for further pictures before buying.

I sell many different items and I don't know everything about them all but I will try and answer any questions you may have.

If there is a problem with your purchase, please contact me before leaving negative feedback so the issue can be sorted out.

My business is very important to me and I will always try and resolve any issues as soon as possible.

PAYMENT 

Please make payments within 48 hours of the auction finishing. 

PayPal is the only method which I accept for online payments though cash on collection is perfectly acceptable.

POSTAGE  

I always ensure that my parcels are packed well.

I mainly use Royal Mail postage on items weighing less than 2kg.  For larger items I use Hermes or other couriers but I will always send my items recorded to help ensure successful delivery.

I am always happy to combine postage on multiple items - simply request a total invoice when you have finished shopping.

Please let me know if you need more time.

If you require delivery to a very remote area the courier may occasionally demand a surcharge which I have no option but to pass on to the winning bidder.

Refusal to pay this surcharge will void the sale and the item will be re-listed.

My postage charges do include packaging material costs and Ebay postage fees.

DISPATCH TIMES

I will normally dispatch items within 3 working days. If for any reason I am unable to dispatch on time I will notify you immediately. 

I WOULD BE GRATEFUL IF YOU WOULD LEAVE ME FEEDBACK
