The image shows an ivory netsuke of an owl from the Meiji period, intricately carved with a detailed design. The owl is depicted in a realistic manner, with its wings spread wide and its head slightly tilted, giving it a lifelike appearance. Its eyes are wide and alert, and its beak is slightly open, as if it is about to take flight. The ivory is a light brown color, and the carving is done in a traditional Japanese style.
