    Bought a small netsuke at an estate. Stands 2 1/4" tall and has a signature. Is this ivory? And can anyone help with the signature?

    I only see resin from here. Are the 2 holes the same or different sizes?

    One would be larger than the other on a functional netsuke.

    A person on another group says this is a mass produced Chinese trinket. Not netsuke.
