Netsuke of Flying Buddhistic Angel

The Netsuke of Flying Buddhistic Angel by an unknown artist depicts a small, intricately carved figure. The carving is made of a light-colored material, possibly ivory or bone. The main figure is a woman with dark hair and a traditional Japanese hairstyle adorned with a decorative piece. She wears a kimono with a patterned design. The woman's facial expression is one of joy or laughter, with her mouth open and a smile. She appears to be lying down or floating, with her body positioned on its side. On her back is a smaller figure of a Buddha-like being with a large head and a serene expression. The smaller figure has its hand raised near the woman's shoulder. The background of the image is a plain gray color.
