AN AMUSING IVORY NETSUKE OF A FOX CATCHER

The man is probably a farmer, is wearing simple clothes and attempts to catch a fox with a large hat, but the canny animal has jumped on the man’s back. The man has both arms pressed on the hat lying on the ground and his face shows he is both irritated and amused. Neatly incised details, black inlaid eyed on both the man and the fox, himotoshi through the man’s behind.
