Ɏ AN IVORY CARVING OF ´BUDDHA CITRUS HAND AND AN ANTLER NETSUKE, EDO PERIOD Ɏ AN IVORY CARVING OF ´BUDDHA CITRUS HAND AND AN ANTLER NETSUKE, EDO PERIOD Japan, Edo period (1615-1868) The first carved in openwork as a Buddha hand citrus borne on a leafy branch, bearing a fine honey patina, a brown string with an ivory ring attached. The second an antler netsuke carved as a stylized curled lotus leaf, one himotoshi running through the hollow interior, the other to the underside. LENGTH 7.4 cm (the hand), and 5.4 cm (the netsuke) Condition: Good condition with expected surface wear, natural age cracks, and few old worn off chips. Provenance: From the collection of Felix Tikotin, and thence by descent within the family. Felix Tikotin (1893-1986) was an architect, art collector, and founder of the first Museum of Japanese Art in the Middle East. Born in Glogau, Germany, to a Jewish family, his ancestors had returned with Napoleon from Russia from a town named Tykocin. He grew up in Dresden and after World War I, he traveled to Japan and immediately fell in love with the culture. In April 1927, he opened his own first gallery in Berlin. The entire family survived the holocaust, and in the 1950s Tikotin slowly resumed his activities as a dealer in Japanese art. He became, once again, very successful and prominent, holding exhibitions all over Europe and the United States. When he first visited Israel in 1956, he decided that the major part of his collection belonged in that country. In 1960, the Tikotin Museum of Japanese Art was opened in Haifa.

RMS Laconia was a Cunard ocean liner, built by Swan, Hunter & Wigham Richardson as a successor of the 1911-1917 Laconia. The ship was launched on April 9, 1921, and made her maiden voyage on May 25, 1922 from Southampton to New York City. At the outbreak of the Second World War she was converted into an armed merchant cruiser, and later a troopship. She was sunk in the South Atlantic Ocean on September 12, 1942 by torpedoes. Like her predecessor, sunk during the First World War, this Laconia was also destroyed by a German submarine. the U-boat commander Werner Hartenstein then staged a dramatic effort to rescue the passengers and the crew of Laconia, which involved additional German U-boats and became known as the Laconia incident. Item condition grading: **** good. The case of the clock is in a good state of preservation with the normal wear and defects commensurate with its age and use over time. The watch movement requires a technical service.
