Netsuke

The Netsuke by artist unknown, depicts a figurine of a woman and a child. The woman is sitting on the floor with her legs tucked under her body, wearing a long-sleeved garment. She has long hair and is holding an axe in both hands. The child is sitting to her left, looking up at her with a grimace, and appears to be naked. The figurine is made of a light-colored material, possibly ivory or wood, and has a smooth, polished finish with darker lines indicating shadows and folds in the clothing. The background of the image is a plain gray color.
