Japan, netsuke, wood. The Avery Brundage Collection, B70Y142: Excellent photo, I have 3 different carving of the two mice, one in ivory, one in wood, and one in amber. What is the significance of the two mice? Do they relate to a story? All three of my carving may be worn on a thong, and two were specifically drilled to be hung from a string, thong, or chain.

Obviously the museum mice will be reborn on a higher rung of the wheel than xensen's mice. One would expect that mice in the museum would be advanced beyond the ordinary run of mice.
