An ivory netsuke of a Dutchman.
Early 19th century. Standing, his left hand clutching the hem of his robe while his right hand holds a horn half as long as his body. He is bearded and bug-eyed as he stares ahead with a frightened look on his face. Nicely stained with large himotoshi on the back side, the crown of his hat is finished with horn. Unsigned. 3in (7.6cm). Provenance: Purchased from R. Koscherak, 1951.
