Ivory netsuke depicting a woman with a long braid holding a bag.

Japan, 19th century.

Good condition, beautiful patina.
Note that the feet are a separate piece which, although they fit perfectly into the bottom of the dress, were probably carved later than the rest of the sculpture.

Natural Himotoshi, the inro cord being able to pass behind the braid.
