The image shows an ivory netsuke of a laughing buddha from the Meiji period. The sculpture is intricately carved with a white background, depicting the figure of a man with a mischievous expression on his face. He is wearing a traditional Japanese robe and is holding a staff in one hand and a book in the other. His eyes are closed and his mouth is slightly open, as if he is in a state of joy and contentment.
