Netsuke: Hachi Jo Jiki Kintama
The sculpture "Netsuke: Hachi Jo Jiki Kintama" by an unknown artist depicts two dark brown, possibly wood or lacquer, intertwined figures. The larger figure lies on its side with its head facing the left side and its limbs curled around. The smaller figure sits on top of the larger figure's back, leaning forward with its head turned to the right. The smaller figure's arms wrap around the larger figure's body. The sculpture has a smooth, shiny surface with visible signs of wear. The background is a plain light gray color. The overall composition suggests an intimate and intricate design. The sculpture appears to be a traditional Japanese netsuke, a type of toggle used to secure clothing.
