The Netsuke by artist unknown, depicts a small, dark brown, wooden sculpture of a smiling Buddha-like figure. The figure has a large, rounded body with a smaller head. The head features a rounded face with a subtle smile, small nose, and half-closed eyes. Two long, rounded earlobes hang down from the head. The figure's hands are resting on its knees. The hands have detailed fingers. The sculpture has a glossy finish and appears to be made of wood. The background of the image is light gray.
