Japanese Meiji Era Three Metals Page Turner - Signed, c1890.

The handle has copper and silver intricate decoration on both sides (it looks like some mythical creature carrying a basket? and on the other side clams in a basket, a crawling crab, and a seaside landscape with boats).
Signed by the artist on the left hand side at the bottom of the handle.
Can be used as a letter opener.
The page turner can be viewed at the Red House Antiques Centre York. This item is available to view at the Red House Antiques Centre in York.
