About this 3D model

This is an ivory netsuke depicting Shōki, a figure in Chinese and Japanese mythology. Traditionally regarded as a vanquisher of ghosts and evil beings, and reputedly able to command 80,000 demons, his image is often painted on household gates as a guardian spirit, as well as in places of business where high-value goods are involved. ________ This object was scanned by The Minneapolis Institute of Art
