Dark brown, shiny, wooden netsuke by unknown artist, depicting two figures. The front figure is rounded with a large head featuring a wide face and protruding eyes. The mouth is open, revealing white teeth. A hood covers the head and shoulders, with folds carved into the wood to resemble fabric. The figure's body is rounded and smooth. A smaller, similar figure is positioned behind and to the left, mostly out of focus. The background is white with a subtle shadow cast by the figures.
