RAT ON A DRIED SALMON HEAD
An ivory netsuke of a rat on a dried salmon head. The finely carved rat, with inlaid eyes, has crawled up to the mouth of the salmon, which shows sharp and dangerous rows of teeth, though it is harmless now. The scales of the fish are achieved very well, and little holes are added by the carver to simulate the desiccation process. The ivory of a very good color with fine stain. Cleverly placed himotoshi through the side and underside.
