One of the most whimsical Chinese objects is the belt toggle, a palm-sized carving in nearly every natural material transformed into a miniature sculpture.
Compared to the avid collecting of Japanese netsuke, Chinese belt toggles have been oddly overlooked.
No longer the curios of Chinese markets, toggles are becoming rarities that are beginning to catch the eyes of collectors who can appreciate their inventiveness and quirky charm.
This one is certainly quirky and in great condition with no sign of damage - just a beautiful deep and detailed carving
