Netsuke of Two Dogs

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a small, oval-shaped object with a design of two dogs on it. The object has a light-colored base with dark brown lines and markings. The two dogs are carved into the top of the object, one lying down and the other sitting next to it. The dogs appear to be made of the same material as the base and have similar coloration. The object has a small loop on the left side. The background of the image is a plain gray color. The object appears to be a Netsuke of Two Dogs by an unknown artist.
