Japanese Ivory Okimono, Late 19th Century

Leaning on an axe, a man dressed in a kimono speaks to a woman at his feet who hands him a fruit. Perhaps she asks him to cut what appears to be a squash, a vegetable too difficult to open without a sharp utensil. This small okimono in perfect condition has a beautiful patina.
