HOTEI and dog

Sitting HOTEI and dog netsuke

HOTEI were an amulet of "birth" in the Edo period. Therefore, we are placing dogs, which are a symbol of birth and a birthplace at the same time.
With hair cracks, there are defects in dogs, but I think that sculpture is good, precise engraving has been done up to the expression of cloth bags and clothes.

Middle EDO peiod it has made.
