An unusual corozo nut netsuke of a crouching rabbit. 19th century

With head lowered and licking its forepaw, the skin of the nut cleverly used to represent spots in the hare’s fur. The eye pupils of coral? Together with an ivory ojime carved with four hares and a full moon.
Height 2.9 cm; length 4.2 cm
