    Picked this up today at my local thrift shop. Not sure id this is a netsuke? I did try to do a little research but only came across one that had the same color but different style. Below is the link of the one I found. If anyone has any information that would be great thanks!

    Not - it has no holes for the cord to hang it from.

    I see they all say wax seal but more likely an ink stamp.
