Netsuke of a Man and Two Demons
Netsuke of a Man and Two Demons by Japanese artist. Carved wooden figure of a man with a long beard and mustache wearing a hat and robe, holding a large sword in his right hand and a severed demon head in his left hand. The man has an angry expression on his face. Two small demons climbing on his legs; one is on his right leg holding a sword in a threatening manner, and the other is on his left leg. The background is a plain surface. The figure is intricately carved with detailed designs on the robe. The man's facial expression and the demons' postures convey a sense of tension. The carving appears to be made of wood.
