A pair of Japanese late Meiji period ivory bezique markers, one carved with two geishas preparing tea, the markers detailed with the different tools and ingredients for tea making, the other with two sumo wrestlers in a match, the markers detailed with insects, each 9 cm long

Condition report: overall good, minor loss near the butterfly marker (on the sumo wrestling one), a few surface scratches commensurate with wear and age
