Netsuke of Two Figures

The image depicts a Netsuke of Two Figures by an unknown artist. The sculpture is made of a light-brown material, possibly ivory or bone. It features two figures: one large and one small. The larger figure stands behind the smaller one, with its body draped over the smaller figure's shoulders. The larger figure has a grotesque face with its mouth open, revealing its teeth. The larger figure's head is covered by a hooded garment. The smaller figure is crouched down, wearing a robe and a hat. The smaller figure's hands are clasped together in front of it. The background of the image is a plain gray color. The overall style of the sculpture appears to be traditional Japanese.
