Netsuke of Hotei and Bag with Fan

The image depicts a wooden sculpture of Hotei with a bag slung over his shoulder and grasping a fan. Hotei is kneeling on one knee. He has a large belly and a wide smile. He wears a robe with folds carved into the wood. The bag has a loop handle and appears to be tied at the top. The background is gray with a slight shadow cast by the sculpture. The overall appearance suggests a traditional Japanese netsuke.
