Netsuke

The image shows a Netsuke by an unknown artist. The sculpture depicts a black figure with a large head, a prominent nose, and a mustache. The figure has a large body and is wearing a gold loincloth. The figure is kneeling on both knees, with the right knee bent in front of the left. The figure's right elbow is bent and its right hand is up by its face. A gold chain hangs from the figure's right hand. A red object protrudes from behind the figure's left shoulder. The background is gray, with a shadow cast by the sculpture.
