Small sculpture made of ivory, titled "Netsuke". A man wearing a kimono is crouched down in front of a structure with a bowl on top. The structure has a handle on the right side and appears to be a water mill. The man has his right hand raised, and his left hand extended towards the structure. He has short hair and is wearing a long-sleeved top and pants. The structure is made up of vertical and horizontal slats. A basket-like object sits on the ground to the left of the man. The background of the image is gray.
