Netsuke (1) - Boxwood - Boxwood netsuke of a Chinese man - Japan - Mid 19th century
He stands in conventional Chinese dress with simple incised decoration, his long pigtail running down his back. In what I take for Japanese racism of the period, he is given a distinctly simian physiognomy Unsigned. Circa 1820 Minor old worn chips, and generally worn 7 gr Royal Mail, tracked and signed
