Netsuke of Woman and Monkey
Ivory netsuke, carved into the form of a woman reclining on her side. The woman has a smiling face and her right arm bent at the elbow with her hand on her head. Her left arm is bent at the elbow with her hand on her abdomen. She wears a top with a geometric pattern, and her hair is styled in a bun on top of her head. A monkey sits on top of her, seemingly attempting to remove an item from her hair. The monkey is small and sits with its feet on either side of the woman's shoulder. The background is plain and grey.
