Netsuke

The Netsuke by artist unknown, is a sculpture of a man carved from a light brown material, possibly ivory or wood. The man has a bald head with some hair on the sides, and is depicted with a large belly and a loincloth. He has his arms raised, with his right arm bent at the elbow and his left arm extended behind him, as if he is carrying or lifting something. The sculpture is intricately carved with lines and patterns on the man's body and loincloth. The background of the image is a plain gray color.
