Unique Fierce Dragon / Dog | Signed Japanese Boxwood Ojime Bead

This is an incredibly detailed carved Japanese boxwood ojime bead of a Dragon/Dog. It is signed on the bottom and measures 1" long, .5" tall and .5" wide. This carving is very unique. It portrays a creature with the head of a dragon and the body of a dog -- not a lion, not a foo dog... not like anything else I could find on the internet! If you know what this mythical creature is please tell me! Look for more antique and vintage netsuke in my ebay shop!
