She is always depicted as smiling, having two very fat cheeks and two spots on her forehead. The netsuke is signed on the bottom "Ninsei" as a token of respect for a famous artist of the 17th century. This example will be late 19th century. She stands almost 2 1/4" tall and is in excellent condition.
