Small sculpture of a recumbent tiger with a small otter on its back. The sculpture is made of a material with a smooth, glossy finish, likely ivory or bone, featuring dark brown stripes. The tiger lies on its stomach with its head turned towards the viewer, front left leg bent and paw curled, back legs tucked under its body. The otter sits on the tiger's back, looking to the right. Both animals have detailed facial features and textured fur. The background is a plain light grey color. Title: Netsuke.
