Netsuke

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image titled "Netsuke" by an unknown artist features a small bronze or copper statue of a person. The figure has a shiny surface with a predominantly brown color and silver accents. The figure is wearing a hooded robe that covers their head and body, with a V-shaped opening for the face. The robe is decorated with intricate designs, including flowers and waves, rendered in silver. The figure's hands are clasped together in front of their body. Their feet are visible at the bottom of the robe, with the toes pointing slightly outward; they appear to be wearing white socks or footwear. The background of the image is a plain gray color, with a subtle shadow cast by the statue.
