A boxwood netsuke of a large eagle

The bird sits clutching a pine branch with thinner side branches and is surrounded by its pine needles; he turns its head backwards to pick his feathers and raises the right wing slightly. The eye pupils of yellow and black horn. A slighty recessed and enlarged area to the underside of the piece with illegible remains of a signature.
Height 3.9 cm
