caption: The image shows an intricately carved ivory netsuke of a monkey on a white background. The monkey is intricately detailed with its fur and features, and its eyes are wide open, giving it a lifelike appearance. Its mouth is slightly open, revealing sharp teeth and claws, and it has a mischievous expression on its face. The ivory is a warm, golden-brown color, and the white background provides a stark contrast to the intricate details of the sculpture.
