Netsuke and ojime
Brown wooden netsuke with a monkey curled up inside a hollowed-out section, looking left. The netsuke resembles a tapered cylinder with a rounded top and bottom. Two grooves encircle the netsuke, one near the top and one near the bottom. A small oval ojime bead is attached to the netsuke on the left side. The netsuke appears to be made from wood and has a textured surface. The background is white. The artist is unknown. The title is "Netsuke and ojime".
