Likely dating to the early to mid-20th century, the abacus is constructed with precision-carved wooden beads that slide smoothly along metal rods. The decorative scalloped center panel adds a touch of craftsmanship and visual interest. With its warm wood tones and timeworn finish, this functional tool doubles as a sculptural desk object or decorative accent. An excellent example of Japanese mathematical instruments with both historical and aesthetic appeal.
