Netsuke are tiny decorative carvings and sculptures used to secure the cords on traditional Japanese outfits. This little fox carving is inspired by that style, plus he's functional!

He can be used either as a traditional netsuke or as a pendant as shown here. (one of my stuffed armadillos is modeling here)

This piece is roughly 2" in diameter (5CM) with a center hole that's roughly 1/2 inch in diameter (2cm). Sculpted in ApoxieSculpt over a wood core for extra strength, painted in acrylic and sealed with shellac. He is fairly lightweight, despite his size.
