Netsuke by artist unknown. A small, gold-colored sculpture of a man leaning on a ball. The man has a rounded face with a slight smile and is wearing a headband with a red emblem on the front. He is dressed in a robe with long sleeves and a patterned design. The man's right knee is bent and on the ground, with his left leg bent behind him. His hands are resting on a large ball that has a cross-hatched pattern. The background is a plain grey color, with a slight shadow cast by the sculpture.
