Vintage Chinese Wooden Hand-Carved Scholar Figure Netsuke 2"

Vintage hand-carved wooden netsuke depicting a robed scholar or intellectual figure. This small 2-inch carving shows expressive detail in the flowing robes and facial features, with a rich, aged patina. Likely mid-20th century, this piece reflects traditional Chinese carving styles in miniature form. Compact and tactile, it fits naturally in the palm and displays well as part of a netsuke or small object collection. A charming and characterful piece with a quiet presence.
