A partly silvered shibuichi netsuke of Hotei. Mid 19th century

Standing upright, holding a stiff fan in his right hand and the cord of his sack placed next to him; the large floral patters of the garment inlaid with gold, those of the sack in gold-filled katakiribori. At the back an eyelet with a ring.
Height 4.8 cm

This netsuke probably represents a clay toy (tsuchi ningyo) of Hotei.
