Netsuke

The Netsuke by artist unknown depicts two men carved from ivory, sitting in a cross-legged position. The man in the front has a bald head with a line down the middle, a mustache, and a large smile showing teeth. He wears a cloth wrapped around his waist. His hands are on his knees. The second man sits behind him with his arms around the first man's shoulders. The second man also has a bald head but with a more subtle facial expression. The background of the image is light gray, and there is a shadow beneath and behind the sculpture.
