#384 Maple Leaf, 2005
Pink Ivory
Netsuke

I chose to simplify the detail of the veins, to allow the wood to prevail. There is so much character with a subtle chatoyance and shifting of grain, that any more definition would have complicated the view.

Dimensions:
2.0 x 1.2 x 1.25 inches
5.1 x 3.0 x 3.2 cm
