The object titled "Netsuke" by the artist is a small, square-shaped item made of a light-colored material, likely ivory or bone. It features a design on one side, which includes a round, dark-colored circle surrounded by a scalloped metal piece with small dots around its edge. There are two red objects resembling leaves or petals below the circle, and a branch with green leaves and red and orange stems extending from the top-left corner. The background of the image is plain white, with a subtle shadow cast by the object to the right.
