Original Message: An ivory bead depicting The No Evil Monkey….

Here is an image of an Ojime by one of the most celebrated Japanese carvers of them all: "Kaigyokusai." It is a little larger than your thumbnail; please notice the detail.
Have also seen an image of the Faberge piece. If I recall correctly, the Faberge rendering is of blue/grey chalcedony and a little over two inches in diameter…Could it be in the Forbes Collection? But probably several were made.
Have actually turned down the opportunity to buy this Kaigyokusai Ojime several times because the crack bothers me….Never mind the high price…
