Fair enough, I realise it must be hard to identify items by pictures alone.

Believe the question is if it's authentic and valuable regjoe!

It is real....it is carved....

No need for ridicule,I posted here for help because I thought that was what the forum section was for.
Sorry if I misunderstood.

Hi,thanks for the replies.
As for background I'm afraid I don't have much as the item belonged to my late father,who never said how he came by it.(however,I know he visited in Japan during the Korean war)
It appears to be made of bamboo I would say.
The reason I asked if it was a copy or not was because I saw one an online auction which went for thousands.
Cheers guys

Hi,could someone please take a look at these?
I think they are bracelets?
They are 3" wide and about 2" tall.

Grateful for any help.
Also I have an old cane/walking stick,it appears to have a resin? knob on the end with what appears to be leather wrappings on the handle.There is also a hook attached to the handle.
The brass end has a curious point on the end and an inscription (see photo)

Any idea how much they might be worth in GBP?
thanks

Hi there,I'm from the UK and would like some help getting some info / prices on some items.
Firstly I have a Japanese brush pot,I wondered if it was real or a copy.
The pot is 6" high and approx 4" wide.It is carved with 6 japanese figures,3 of which seem to be holding some kind of cloth? while 2 men seem to be playing some kind of boardgame.The whole scene is taking place under some trees.
Here a some photos
