A large ivory netsuke of a laughing Gama Sennin. 18th century

Standing, the large head with a wide grin turned to the right, the long hair ending in curls and falling over a cape of mugwort leaves. He supports a toad on his shoulder with his left hand and lifts the long end of the sash with his right. The eye pupils of black and brown horn.
