The image depicts an intricately carved netsuke featuring a boat with seven gods of good fortune. The boat has a curved, flat bottom with a pointed top and a carved design on the side. Seven human figures are visible inside and on the boat; one stands at the front, one at the back, and five are in the middle. The figure at the back of the boat holds a large horn. The boat appears to be made of ivory or a similar material and has a light brown color. A maroon cord extends from the right side of the image, emerging from behind the boat. The background is white, with a shadow cast by the boat on the left side.
