1800's, finely hand-carved Japanese mix-materials netsuke depicting an Entertainer or Dancer, who is standing on one leg, in the middle of a theatrical performance. He is wearing an Usobuki mask and a dancer's robe.
Excellent detail and patination; he grimaces as he attempts to lift the large stone. Signed Hozan on his Obi, near the ribbon that ties it on his back.
Netsuke measures 1.04 inches (2.6cm) wide, and 1.56 inches (4.0cm) tall. It is in outstanding preserved condition, as may be seen in the posted photos.
