Netsuke of a Demon

The Netsuke of a Demon by an unknown artist depicts a small, gold-colored sculpture of a demon. The demon has a large head with a prominent forehead, a large nose, and an open mouth with sharp teeth. It has a distinctive hairstyle with a mohawk-like tuft on top of its head. The demon is sitting on its haunches with its legs bent under its body and its feet flat on the ground. The demon's left arm rests on its left knee, while its right arm holds a rope-like object that loops around its right shoulder and under its right arm. The object has a rounded end on the right. The demon's left hand rests on top of the object. The sculpture sits on a flat surface against a plain background.
