Netsuke of Seated Figure of Old Man with a Dog

Small figurine of a seated old man and a dog. The old man has a bald head with a long white beard and mustache. He wears a robe with a round collar and buttons down the front. His right elbow rests on his right knee, and his left arm rests on his left leg. The dog is carved to look like a small puppy with a curled tail. It sits on the old man's right leg, resting its head on the old man's right hand. The figurine appears to be made of carved ivory or bone, with a glossy finish. The background is a plain gray color.
