The ivory netsuke is stained and of a very appealing color, depicting an acrobat doing a handstand, his body amusingly contorted, with his legs just above his head. He is wearing ornate robes inlaid with horn buttons stained in different colors. Furthermore, he has a mon on his chest and is wearing a lion mask cap. Very good and irregular himotoshi to the side and above his head.
