Netsuke of Group of Figures
The sculpture, titled "Netsuke of Group of Figures" by an unknown artist, depicts three human figures intricately carved from dark brown material, likely wood. The figure on the left is kneeling on one knee with the other leg bent behind them, appearing to be attempting to free themselves from the grasp of the other two figures. The central figure, partially obscured, seems to be engaged with both of the other figures. The figure on the right stands with their left leg slightly bent, with their arms wrapped around the central figure, pulling them backward. The sculpture showcases detailed carvings, suggesting it is a netsuke, a type of Japanese toggle used to secure a cord to a pouch or other item. The background of the image is light gray, with a shadow cast by the sculpture, indicating it is a product or museum-quality photograph.
