Description Figurine of what appears to be a Japanese man wearing clothing which has all the details of the flowered design etched into the figure and some type of coloring technique. Man is sitting on a large rock which is the base of the figurine. A pot/water container is sitting on the rock beside the man and detailed with the same quality of etching but a different pattern. Foreign writing on front of rock base, but don't know what is reads. At bottom of the base appears to be swirls of water on the rock. On the under side of the base is some kind of symbol directly in the center and surrounded by swirling clouds and birds. These items are also all etched into the figurine and a coloring technique.

This piece is clearly resin or plastic. Ivory is a very expensive material and the detail should be flawless. Plus there is no grain and the surface looks tacky rather than mirror-like like ivory would.
