Small, rounded figurine of a smiling Buddha. The figurine is made of light-colored material, possibly ivory or wood. It depicts Buddha with a large, round face and a wide smile. His eyes are half-closed. He has a small nose and a rounded chin. A cloth is wrapped around his body, with folds carved into the material. The figurine is set against a plain white background. The overall appearance suggests it is a Netsuke by an unknown artist.
