Netsuke of a Kappa
The image depicts a Netsuke of a Kappa, a small, carved figurine. The Kappa has a humanoid body with a turtle-like shell on its back and a beak-like mouth. The figurine has a brown patina and appears to be made from wood. The Kappa sits on its haunches with its arms resting on its knees. Its right hand appears to be touching its mouth, and the left arm is bent at the elbow. The Kappa's feet are flat on the surface and appear to have webbed toes. The background of the image is a plain gray color, which helps to highlight the details of the figurine.
