caption: The image shows an ivory netsuke of a lion, intricately carved with details such as its mane, tail, and facial features. The lion is standing on its hind legs, with its head held high and its mouth open in a roar. Its eyes are wide and alert, and its ears are perked up, giving it a fierce and powerful look. The ivory is smooth and glossy, reflecting the light and creating a beautiful contrast with the dark background.
