A guide for this piece: about $316, based on the 10% US charge on the declared value of goods made in Japan.
The final figure is set by US Customs and depends on where the piece was made and the kind of object it is. Many antiques over a century old carry no ordinary duty; most jewellery and leather goods add a single-digit rate.
With EMS, any charge is collected by your postal service on delivery. For pieces of significant value we can often arrange duties prepaid before dispatch.

A fir tree for a hat
Nara gives his familiar stubborn child a pair of yellow glasses and plants a small fir on her head. It is a working coin bank, yet it reads first as sculpture for a shelf.

Under the Tree, a coin bank by Yoshitomo Nara produced with How2work: the head and shoulders of a girl in yellow glasses, a small green fir rising from the crown of her russet hair. It is described as new and unopened in its clear pack.
The Piece
Wide green eyes look out through square yellow frames, the mouth is drawn as a single downturned line, and two short pigtails stand away from the nape. A pale blue bow is tied at the collar of a deep red top.
A coin slot is cut across the back of the head, and a black twist stopper is set into the red base. The header card reads "Under the Tree by Yoshitomo Nara"; the backing card names How2work as producer and carries a holographic seal.
