Netsuke of Tennin (Apsara)
Dark brown wooden carving of Tennin (Apsara), a figure with long hair and a crown on their head. The figure is reclining with their body facing left and their head turned forward, wearing a detailed crown on top of their head. Their right arm is bent at the elbow with the hand positioned near their face. The left arm extends downward with the hand out of frame. The figure appears to be sitting on a curved object resembling a wave or a leaf, with folds of fabric carved around them. The background is plain white with a shadow cast by the carving.
