A well-worn wood netsuke depicting an emaciated wolf, tearing into the leg of a deer. With its mouth open and teeth on show, the animal has a typical crazed look. The surface is well-worn and has developed a lovely mellow patina, with the remnants of hair work in the recesses.
Unsigned, Kyoto school
18th century
