Netsuke

A red tsuishu lacquer netsuke in the form of a Gourd. Carved into the netsuke are children playing on a coastline with a dog surrounded by rocks and trees. The metal cap can be removed possibly to contain something inside. A metal collar and two rings in the middle are for the string of a Sagemono to be attached.
