Netsuke of Dharma with a Small Boy
The sculpture depicts Dharma, a Buddhist monk with a large belly, carved from a light-colored material, possibly ivory, with a subtle sheen.

A small boy, also carved from the same material, stands beside him, dressed in a traditional robe and appearing to climb on Dharma's body. The base of the sculpture is oval-shaped and flat. The background of the image is a plain gray color. The title of the sculpture is "Netsuke of Dharma with a Small Boy".
