A Kyoto school ivory netsuke of a spirited shishi with a huge ball, by Mitsuharu. Late 18th/early 19th century

Seated on its hind legs and placing its forepaws onto a ball while looking back and roaring fiercely, the hair strands swirling into elegant spirals. The eye pupils of black horn. Signed Mitsuharu in an oval reserve.
Height 4.6 cm
